You need to shop around! My S&W Gunsite went begging @1100

I picked it up in trade for less.
Maybe this sounds cold blooded, but there are a LOT of "Old Guys" divesting themselves of great old 1911s right now. I traded 1100 bucks for a custom Gold Cup, and picked up a Bellevue Detonics Service Master II for 500.00 these guns are out their, you just need to look in a verity of places. Our own "JLF", Jack Fowler,Honest Arch Arch Stanton etc, is a a link to a treasure trove of quality guns. Do a smart search on gunbroker for "texjack." Send him an e-mail and let him know what you are looking for.
I have a half dozen or more of my favorite guns from Jack.
Good Luck to you.
