I have wanted a 1911 for some time and today someone offered me what I'm hoping is a good buy on my dream gun. Being a newbie, I need to know if it's as good a deal as I think. It's a used but very nice stainless SA loaded target with hard case, two mags, and plastic goodies for $900. The only flaws I can find is an idiot scratch on the frame from the slide release and the guide rod allen screw is a little boogered. I'll go GI and do away with the full-length rod so that's not a big deal. I didn't take it apart and I wouldn't know what to look for any way. I'm hoping the idiot scratch will polish out. Is there anything else I should check? What say you experts is this a deal or no?
