I’ve been around here for a while. I value all of your guys opinions when it comes to firearms so I need some help making my a tough decision. I started a thread about my interest in getting a 44 mag and got some great suggestions. Only problem is, I need to sell something I have in order to buy what I want. The wife was less than pleased when I told her I wanted to drop almost a grand on another gun. I’m going with the model 29 classic series btw.
So I decided if something needs to go, my Springfield Armory 1911 trp would be the one. It’s one of the older models with the wood grips. I bought it used from buds gun shop about 8 years ago so I’m not sure of the round count but I have put about 500 or so rounds through it. I paid 1100 for it. I’m hoping 950-1000 would be a fair asking price for it. The action is still tight but I’ve recently got a few failure to feeds with it due to the mag springs on the original mags being worn out.
It’s in good shape except for the idiot scratch from the previous owner under the slide lock lever. The checkering is still sharp.
Should I keep it or make a move on to the wonderful world of magnum revolvers? I figure I could always buy another 1911 up the road and it doesn’t have to be match quality. I know that nobody can make the decision for me but I would like to hear some opinions one way or the other. Thanks
