I recently bought a used 1911 on Gunbroker. The folks who I bought it from have an excellent rating. The pistol wasn't a great deal, but looked good. I took the pistol out to the range and it went full auto on me. Now I feel the only option is to replace the hammer and sear, making this (with shipping and transfer fees) not a very good deal. I let the dealer who sold me the pistol know about the problem. It looks like they aren't going to do anything about it. I've only bought one other used gun that had a safety issue, a S&W revolver that had had the hammer block removed. It was a good deal and getting and installing a hammer block wasn't that expensive, but this deal is going to cost me over $100. I won't sell a gun unless it is good operating condition, but I know that a lot of people will dump a problematic gun onto an unwary buyer. I was just curious how people on this list feel about it. I know, some of you are going to say, buyer beware, and that's certainly true. If you'd like, you can vote on in the poll.
