OK, I have gotten permission to evaluate buying a 1911. I have fallen in love with them and want one of my own. It will be my primary daily CC weapon (I have a CHL and am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area) and from my research the RIA 1911's are an inexpensive go bang every time gun with everything that I am looking for.
I dont have a lot of money and the "cheapest" new one I can find is in the mid 300's, so I was hoping to find one in the 200's used (but in good shape). I am not looking to impress anyone (function over form) with it, but want a "go bang everytime" tool that will serve me reliably.
I know most of the folks on here will not do this, but please keep the "are you crazy" and "lots of luck" type comments to yourself. I know that there are awesome 1911's out there in the 2k range with averages for kimbers, etc in the 900 range. I get it, I really do. This is my reality. I am not going to get a $500+ gun, it just aint gonna happen.
Now, if someone has an old 1911 Rock Island laying around (and I know its almost insulting to think this of a great gun like this) that they can let go for in the 200's, please email me at dewayneward1972@gmail.com
thank you!

Col 2:8 See to it that no man takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men,according to the elementary principles of the world,rather than according to Christ.
