Just got another picture of my 1911 with tac light.  The thing looks the part with the light, plus it makes sweeping the house in the middle of the night a whole lot better!

Nice.  Here is a picture of my Kimber with TLR-1 installed.  Just put the light on yesterday and am about to go down to the range to see how the weight affects target acquisition.

. . . made in Argentina.

Anyone have any experience with Argentine made 1911's?

My understanding is that the Argentine govt got the dies from Colt and started making them on their own and that Colt made 1911 (and aftermarket) parts interchange.

What's a ballpark value on a nice condition used piece?

My friends dad is a huge gun nut and has given most of what he had to his kids.  What's left includes some Argentine made 1911's.  Apparently he held back when he got these and only bought "6 or 8" of them [laugh].

He's looking to sell.

I did a little research on the net and got a huge range of value from $200 to $800 (of course condition would affect the price)

I don't own a hand gun but have plenty of bench time with various rifles.  I don't need one, but you know. . .

if the price is right I would cause I could ;D

Thoughts?

depends on condition and finish. If they are blued (orginal finish) and don't have import marks, they are worth towards the high end of the scale. Otherwise, a nice condition parkerised one is worth ~$3-400 if the finish is in decent shape. I have 2 of them, they are in great condition and are extremely well made, on par with pre-ww2 colts. got pics?

What are import marks?

ATF now requires marks showing importers name, caliber and (now) a new serial number issued by the importer.

with the gun control act of 1968, all firearms imported into this country were required to be marked with the company that imported them. Prior to this, this was not required and firearms without import marks command a premium.

Anyone try a new Colt yet?  I've been pretty happy with what I have so I haven't looked at much since I put my AR together.  Recently I went looking and saw that Colt was making Deltas again.  I like my Razorback but I really want a Delta Elite.  10mm is the way to go.
