Colt 1970 Series New

[glockster157]

A friend needed to sell this gun. He paid over a grand for it at a local shop a while back. Anybody know what they are actually going for these days. I bought it as a favor but I never haggle and tell. Now I have 2 guns I must decide whether to keep pristine or shoot as I had also picked up a 439 LNIB a couple of weeks back. Problems, problems...what to do?

I dunno let me think about that for a minute thinking over....what do you think I'm .

Seriously though, I just sold a Glock 30, love Glocks, have had several 30's and a 36, currently carry a 27 but the 30's/21's never fit my hand,I have short fingers. Now if somebody had a much more carryable 1911, like a LW Commander or something, I would think about it.

Cool, just don't keep up with new Colts and wanted to be sure I was OK in my position. All is well. Now I am going to shoot it, there is no doubt in that, but I will have to think hard before I carry it...that sure is a pretty blu job on that pistol.

Of course after he gets a job and wants to buy it back I would sell it to him. If he lets me know ahead of time I would be sure to shoot it a bunch first to make sure it still functions properly . I am just that kind of guy.
