I think I might be the first to get a used Ruger SR1911

[Chuck]

I just bought a Ruger SR1911 that has fewer than 100 rounds through it. So now I'm thinking that I might actually be the first person in Canada to get a used Ruger SR1911. It's going to be fun when it gets here.

Will be looking to get one. How do the used prices compare to the new price?

Thanks,

M

New or Used congrats, they are hard to find

It's hard to say since my case is only one example but for me I paid approximately the retail price.

I sold one to a fellow CGN'r a few weeks ago... you may be the second.
Congrats on a great gun.

Yeah, first or second it is going to be great. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas but I never got anything as cool as this for Christmas as a kid.

Makes you wonder why somebody sells a gun they only put two boxes of ammo through?

Since the Ruger is scarce there would be no better time than now to skid it, if you bought and didn't like it or have a cherry popping fetish with kit.

congrats either way.

 

[Bananatole]

FACK!! I'm waiting and people are acquiring 2nd hand!? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Nothing like that feeling of Christmas morning - too bad that all of us that are waiting are going to wake up to nothing but a lump of coal.
Maybe next Christmas!

it's just another 1911

 

[plinker 777]

Damn, I wish I saw that. Would've been a nice, easy local deal

Yep, it sure would have. Took about 20 mins to sell. I was surprised...

Yeah, I'm surprised it took so long too haha

I'm not worried about its brief ownership before I got it. I've bought and sold a pile of guns, some of which I only owned briefly. About five years ago I bought a pre-64 model 70 Winchester in .270 and I sold it about 2 weeks later. I was a really good rifle but I only bought it to satisfy a curiosity. By the time two weeks had passed I could see why people liked those rifles so much but I still liked my Ruger single shot better.

That kind of brings me to part of reason for my enthusiasm here. I've wanted a 1911 for years and I've never had anything but good experiences with Rugers so this a a good combination for me.

The funny part about my earlier Christmas comment is that I got a PM from the seller last night to give me the Canada Post tracking number. In the PM me mentioned that due to a lack of packing material at his house the box is stuffed with Christmas wrapping paper. Now that is kind of funny...

 

[twistedbrilliance]

yeah I have been really thinking about getting one myself. A local shop here has some for $728. That seems to be a decent price for a good 1911. They sure look sharp.

Everyone will want to know, which shop is that? That phone is going to ring off of the hook.
