When I'm at the range and everyone is lighting off full autos and suppressed toys, I light off a few 180gr rounds and everyone comes over to watch.

Why don'tcha cut your dick off too? You get premium $$$ with those items and have to discount $$$ without....and everything gets sold eventually.

An analogy you have a 3 bedroom house...why not tear one bedroom down because you are not using it? You really should know better.

Then I'll have my "N" frame line up complete.

Retailers are blowing out the P250 because nobody wants them. SIG, in their infinite wisdom, decided that reason people didn't want P250s is because they are hammer-fired. So they made a version that's striker-fired and called it the P320. Frankly, it is a thoroughly mediocre pistol at best (I own one, as a kind of experiment), especially considering that the key selling point--interchangeable frames, barrels, slides--are basically vaporware unless you order directly from SIG.

SIG's best stuff was German. I'd love an X5 or an X6 (or both). But in the past 5-10 years or so they seem to have lost their way--there's a lot of "throw it out there and see if it sticks" in their product offerings.

The 226 is larger than what I want..

Obviously a very nice piece but it was due for a tune up and I did not want to put money into so I sold it for 3 times what I paid for it and moved on. It's what we do..buy and sell things, some times we regret it sometime we don't.

The new P226 with the rail is super nice feeling. Makes my older model look very dated.

Depends on the year and sub-model. I've had five Commanders and they all sucked, even the Series 70 ones. My dad's is the best one I ever shot and it will be mine one day. My mom bought it for him for $150 when I was about six. Until I get his Colt, I'll be sticking with Springfields.

I bought a worn out Colt Combat Commander from a pawn shop for $300, learned how to strip it entirely and spent another $400 on replacement parts, mostly from Wilson, and ended up with a fantastic freaking spoon.


Still not sure why I sold it.


The only spoon really on my bucket list is a select fire MP5 style spoon.

If it is special, why? If it isn't, then I get it - one in a couple hundred million guns. I shot it, it goes bang and the bullet hit it's mark.

I am just trying to understand how value is attached to it if it is special. My Dad recently had strokes, so I can't get an answer from him as to why it was something to him.

Thanks.

Gold Cups are a level above your garden variety Colt 1911. And that one looks to be pretty clean. If you have the original box, that adds a few $$. I think those are S&W sights, which was a common mod back in those days. My dad did it on his Commander too, but no one would do that these days. I'm guessing your dad is around 70 yrs. old. New GCs are going for $1200, which is pretty cheap for a premium level Colt 1911. But then there are so many boutique brands these days that cost 2-4x that much. So they're relative bargains these days. I just don't know how their current QC is.
