I think you did the right thing. As much as Glocks suck and have no soul, they are still worth $400 - $500 used. So, $800 - $1000 in Glocks for a $700 - $800 Colt. I would say you need $100 to close the deal

Red Ryder...IIRC about as politically correct as the Cisco Kid but yeah I remember them and even though 'logically' a single action revolver didn't make much sense to me I still got a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt undoubtedly because I was brain washed by the old Westerns. (Still have the Blackhawk and still enjoy it.)

While I only have use for full sized 10mm glocks, even I wouldn't take this trade. I'd take the two and find a CZ p-01 tactical or Shadow 2.
Especially so if the 1911 still has that crappy grip safety.

I've made a lot of trades, some even up and some not so much.. the only opinion that matters is yours. and If you really want the Colt and will never have the cash to spend on one, do it and don't look back.. It's not going to loose it's value like the Glocks. ( and I love my Glocks) plus: everyone should own one Colt 1911...lol good luck

Buy an ATI for $500+ . they're accurate, all the bells and whistles you need and
they go bang each and every time you pull the trigger. I've had many Colts ,starting with National Match 70 series, reg GI models, commanders ,and suped up officers.They are all finicky INMHO and cost money to get them tuned up. |

I couldn't agree more! You buy that basic Colt and you'll begging for that crappy Glock factory sights back. Those GI 1911 sights are worthless these days. Colt is still putting sights from the 1970s on their guns. I've had several Colts and they were all sloppy fitting with poor attention to detail. You're paying for the name and not much else. Take an $900 Colt with all the markings removed and put it next to a $600 Ruger with all the markings removed and you won't see much difference in terms of fit and finish. $600 to $700 is where Colt fits quality-wise.

Same could be said about Glocks. Were these Glocks made in Austria like my old 2nd Gen G17?. No, now I believe they are made (or partially made) in Smyrna Georgia - previously home to Cobray and the Mac 10. Do they make Mac 10's in Austria? |
