What's the details on the 1911? Blued? Stainless? Is this the lighter AL model? Does it have a rail?
I'm no expert. I do love me some 1911s tho. I've seen them priced new as low as 500 and as high as 650 in various configurations. You're in the range so I wouldn't say you over paid. Thats about the going rate.
Congrats on the new piece and welcome back to the 4 5 club.
