I just bought a 1911 E-series SS today. As new in the box out the door,for $800.00, I felt good about the deal. I've seen prices quoted from $550.00 and up on this forum, but I feel as long as the buyer and seller walk away happy with deal, perfect.
I think the gun will be a great addition to my collection and look forward to a day at the range. As it has been said if you want and can afford it get it.
Good luck.
