Selling my 1979 Colt Detective Special. 38 special, 2" blued. The gun is in great shape considering its age. The cylinder release has that purpleish tint that many blued guns get over time, the rest of the bluing is excellent. It has Colt rubber grips installed, and comes with a pair of wooden grips in the box. Also has 2 HKS speedloaders, and a really nice Bianchi #5 OWB thumb break leather holster. Price $900 Possible trade for a 1911 like Sig, Kimber, but no ATI, Tisas or Taurus. Or other hammer guns but not limited to Sig P226, 229 etc . 423 603 9696 located between Johnson City and Greeneville, travel to Knoxville occasionally

As much as I love my CZ75 and my Hi Power, the OP asked about 1911's-lol. Which is why I didnt suggest a Sig 226 or 229, Canik SFX, Beretta 92, or any of my other favorite 9mm's.

I have several of both calibers. . For your budget, I'd consider a Dan Wesson. Very well made, especially for the price. Either caliber but I have to say that 9mm is a hoot to shoot in a 1911. DW makes all steel versions, as well as aluminum frame models. Another favorite of mine is the Springfield EMP 9mm. They took the 1911 and basically shrunk it down a bit for the 9mm cartridge. So its not a big 1911 frame chambered in 9mm, it was designed just for the 9mm.

If I didnt buy, sell and trade once in a while, I wouldnt know which guns I like, and which I wouldnt. Am I the only one that at times just HAD to have a certain model because it was popular, or cool, or new, only to find out I wasnt crazy about it? I have no problem selling those, thats for sure-lol. And on the other hand, I have taken some in trade that I wasnt crazy about, then fell in love with it. Thats how I got my first CZ, a PCR. The day I first shot it I also had a P226 Legion, and damn it that PCR didnt shoot circles around the Sig (and at about half the cost). Though that gun cost me a bundle in the long run, since it began my love affair with CZ-lol. And I have more than several to prove it.

I see them from $300-500 on Gunbroker

I stand corrected sir. Looking at pics, I remember there was a model that was different from my 1980's Hi Power that had a safety like the new FN, and the Girsan has it too. I thought it was the Inglis.

I see the FN version looks just like the old 'Inglis' Canadian version, or at least the safety does.

Bump since I'll be in Lebanon next week

I have 2- a Swampfox Sentinel which comes on when you move it, and a Holosun with an on/off button. Both are target guns so I like them both, but if was a carry gun you would want the instant-on option. I'm actually a fan of a laser for a carry gun. They are a lot less obtrusive, and you dont have to be looking thru the sight to see where you are aiming, which chances are will be in the dark anyway. Lets say someone broke into your house at night, that little red dot on them would probably send them packing-lol.

I have a similar way to record what I buy, sell or trade. I have a book with the gun serial #in question, when I got it, when I sold it, and the phone numbers of buyers, or sellers. Sometimes even the license plate #. I see it this way. If something I sold turned up stolen, or used in a crime, it might come back to me. (Because you never know if the guy that sold it or bought it keeps records also-lol). So I want some info to show where it came from. I will also do an occasional BOS if its something I bought at a dealer and filled out paperwork.

Many have commented in this thread about how dumb it was to sell their, lets say 1966 Mustang or (insert your older cars here-lol) for $900 because they are worth so much today. But lets not forget, thats just what those cars sold for back in the day. I sold my 1967 Chevelle for $1200 in about 1974 or 75. Bought a 1970 Chevelle 454 for $1500. Drove that car into the ground and probably got less than that for it-lol. But, that was a lot of money for a high school kid working part time after school for $3.50/hr. Its all relative. Same as gun prices. Hell, I bought a new Smith 37 nickel for around $200, and a Colt Mustang Pocketlite for about the same. Still have them actually.

Yea I meant it was the first car I ever had with A/C. My father had a '64 or 65 Caddy convertible with A/C, coolest car ever-lol.

Well, mt first car was a '67 Chevelle SS. Next I had a '70 Chevelle SS 454. After that a real nice '69 Cutlass Supreme. And a sweet '69 Gran Sport. It was an auto, but had all power. Doors, windows, and A/C. It was first car with A/C.

Not as bright as those others, but I carry this. SOG Bladelight mini. Knife and light in one. It will blind someone up close, or once I dropped my bike key in a field and we were able to find it.

Kuhmo Solus TA31 tires. 205/60/16 92H, all season. 60,000 mile warranty. Wheels are 5x112mm $850 Might trade for a handgun, no Glocks Tri-Cities area

Ah, the Canik-lol. Got the SFX Blackout model in a trade last year. Had it a few weeks, then finally took it out in the back to shoot it. Probably the best shooting gun I ever had. Like you said, made me look like I know what I'm doing-lol. One big ragged hole. Ended up trading it again, but recently picked up another with a Swamp Fox red dot. This one's a shooter also.

Selling 2 barrels that fit any of the Mark series pistols 5.5" stainless bull barrel 4.75" blue tapered with front sight Both in good shape. $85 for both

I highly recommend the Lansky sharpening kit. Has 5 stones, ranging from coarse to super fine, with a holder that clamps onto the blade for several different sharpening angles.
