Every time I see a thread about how much is a brand X whatchmacallit worth I wonder if the guy has heard of the Blue Book or Gunlist. Well now I am in just such a position. A dealer buddy of mine has a stainless steel Govt. series 80 for $500.00 and it is in great shape. It has a beavertail grip safety and commander hammer. The price seems a bit high by the book, but about right or even low in comparison with Gun List and Shotgun news. Colt already got their money so getting mad at them is no reason not to buy it.
I am looking for another 1911 style pistol to fool around with. In all honesty, should I get the Colt and add parts as I go or should I forget it and buy a Govt. Springfield already "loaded"?
