No, you are not a wise guy, but you are a wise guy.

The prices are nuts for "as-described" beat-up, old 1911s, with the only thing going for them being the CMP markings. Sure, I've no doubt that they'll go bang, but to make them shoot somewhat accurately, I predict lots of barrel and bushing replacements, not to mention stuff like tightening the slide and replacing springs. Don't even want to think about outward appearances.

There are a lot of fish out there, though.

I'll pass, also.
