1911 Series 80 ?s

[DragonFire]

My father is thinking of selling his Mod 1911 Colt Commander, .45cal(series 80). It comes with four magazines, hip holster, and a complete set of dies. It is in good shape and I don`t think he has shot it in 20 yrs.
He has no computer and has asked me to ask you guys what a fair price would be. I may post it in the EE later. He lives in northern B.C. to those interested. Thanks.

Well there is a NIB one up right now for $750. Is your Dad's a lightweight or combat (steel frame)?

I once paid $850 for one and years later paid $700 for another.

i just got mine for 800 shipped but it s a lightweight , and it s in near perfect condition !!! And it probably belonged to PRPROULX before LOL ...

Here's how I see it... Combat Comander [steel frame] is worth more/more desireable than the LW [light weight] Commander [aluminum frame]... Series 80 pistols worth less than Pre Series 80 pistols... all other things [condition, finish, original box & papers, accessories, etc] being equal.

But, what do I know about it?

I prefer the light weight version. If I could have found a LW in 9mm I would have bought it.

It just points better for me.

But I'm stuck with the all-steel boat anchor.

Well, there's no question that a real deal Colt Commander, lightweight or otherwise, in 9mm is very desireable indeed...
