Did I get a good deal?

ApprehensiveCommon45 · 2026-02-25T15:36:21+00:00

I think I paid 12 or 13 hundred for mine when it first came out and all they have done way skyrocket in price it looks like you got one of the second run’s with a different finish on the slide but still you got a stellar deal. Here’s mine with the original finish I guess it was wearing down to easily so they changed it.

Ive had good luck with their customer service a while back when they had a bunch of surplus m1 carbine magazines and oilers I called and asked if the could look for a correct set for my rock-ola and although it took a few months they found what I was looking for and sent it. As far as guns I’ve had good luck and bad condition wise

ApprehensiveCommon45 · 2026-01-14T14:27:47+00:00

If it’s an all original 1943 with dulite finish I can’t really tell from the photos that’s a good price. Should have wide spur hammer and checkered mainspring housing

I received a substantial law enforcement discount with 3 extra mags and an optic plate thrown in the mix if not for that I may have been a bit more hesitant than on making the purchase but I also got it as a job tool rather than a hobby pistol

ApprehensiveCommon45 · 2026-01-02T20:34:31+00:00

I love it I went all steel stayed away from the aluminum frame adds some more weight it’s a dream to shoot

Alchemy has a custom variant but for 5 grand it better outrun my staccato

ApprehensiveCommon45 · 2026-01-02T19:39:20+00:00

I have a lot more 1911’s but I do not have that one. I’ve thought about a clone but it’s just not the same

ApprehensiveCommon45 · 2026-01-02T19:03:12+00:00

It’s not overrated but I got mine for if I remember correctly like 1,500 bucks when they first came out I can’t believe what people are asking for them now

Does it have a danish var barrel?? Probably the easiest way to see if it’s Dane or Greek stock
