$300 is a very fair price. Add in the holster and it is darn near a crime in progress.

I have bought two 1903s in the last five years, both shooter grade. The prices have nearly doubled in that time - and original mags are a better investment.

The 1903s are superb shooters and masterworks of Art Deco age in design/production. Every time I disassemble one, I am reminded of the brilliance of John Moses Browning - and wonder why did he make this decision or that?

That and nothing.…nothing! feels as reassuring slipped in AIWB as that 1903. JMB seemingly had the hand of providence guiding him in shaping the 1903 to sit behind a man’s strongside braces.
