Was the Ruger 1911 you traded the one that rattled?
Just stuck it on Armslist for $950
There is another one in Lafayette for $1,100.
Have you thought about bringing her back home?
Not at that price.
I had three. Kept the best one and sold the other two. I have picked up another one since then. Both lower serial numbers than that one.
But it doesn't rattle. That's worth a lot.
So what did Kimber change since these were released?
Well...if you're chasing a quick buck than good luck.
I've got a first gen kimber that I wouldn't sell for twice that price....even if someone says they're not worth it.
Craftsmanship goes a long way, and the earlier guns had it. You'd have to pay a lot more to get a gun of equal quality. Sell it and chase that dollar if you want, but it would be a mistake imho.
God bless
