VALUE?? of a Colt gubmit 1911 slide
Louis, tell me about your 1911. If it is in original condition and reasonably good shape, you do NOT want to separate the original slide and frame. Once you do that, you have turned a $800 - $1000 gun into a $400 "parts gun". Plus, depending on the vintage, it may take considerable gunsmithing to fit the slide to the frame and get it to work right.
It's no biggie to improve the sights on a 1911. I've got a Combat Commander with faded-out Wilson night sights that I did a little paint job on, and they work great even with my lousy eyes.
Bring your gun up here to my place sometime and let's see what we can do with it.
