I'm going to look at a Colt Mark 4 Series 70 1911 pistol that is supposedly in great condition. Any ideas on what that's worth? He's asking $1000. I'm thinking I can get a decent used S&W 1911 for around $800. Opinions? |

I just paid exactly that amount for the same pistol last weekend at a show. I think I got a fair deal because it's in mint condition. If yours is in the same condition, I would say that's the going rate for that gun. It's a good investment....even though they made a lot of them, they're not making them any more. I'm sure that, in the long run, you would be much happier with the Colt than with the Smith. What's the finish? | |

$1000 is too much unless it comes with a bunch mags, ammo and other goodies. $800 is reasonable but I would start lower. Good luck with that.  __________________

It seems high to me. I think around $700.-$800. is more appropriate as well. __________________

Remember, this is a COLT 1911, not a Glock  Still better off than paying $800 for a used S&W. | |

I think $800 is a good deal for some used smith 1911's. | |
