    Sell it or keep it?

    My SA 1911 Loaded Target 9mm. I now have 5 handguns and I just don't shoot all of them. I love it. Fun as hell to shoot. Reliable and a tack driver.

    I don't at all need the money. Just thought someone else should enjoy it. Now I'm reconsidering.

    I think it's the only 1911 9mm variant on the roster. What are the odds it will fall off the roster?

    I am pretty sure I know what you guys are gonna tell me. I just need to hear it.

      I would just keep it unless you have other 9mm 1911 for fun.

        If you only have five handguns, and there is no need to sell the Springer, why sell it?

        Dig it out every couple of months and take it to the range.

        Use it as a gun for newbs that have never shot a handgun before.

        Etc, etc.

            If money is not an issue, no need to sell it unless you plan to never fire it again.

              Sooner or later it will fall off the roster and you will spend a lot more to replace it or get a better 9mm 1911. 5 guns is nothing, barely a start. Put it in the safe and buy some more guns.

                Take all your pistols to the range and shoot 50 rounds out of each one and sell the one or two that doesn't shoot as accurately or feel comfortable shooting with.

                    One of the worst feelings is the regret that may come later from selling a pistol. 9mm is cheap. If you are not absolutely sure about selling it, then keep it and shoot it, even if only occasionally.

                      If you don't need the money, then do not sell the gun. A 9mm 1911 is so fun to shoot and there was a time I owned 5 handguns but that has multiplied exponentially.

                      That being said, almost every handgun I have ever sold I regretted at some point after selling it. I never sold because needed the money, just figured the gun was taking up space and never shot it. There WILL come a time where you appreciate that beauty. Please keep it!!!!

                        Use it as a prop in some of your bad ***** pictures.

                            Which other 5 guns do you have-so we might convince you to sell them before this one?
                            Honestly ; one of the funner accurate 9mms that you can buy! I have one.

                              I had handguns I didnt shoot that much too because I was buying other hand guns. I did not sell them though and am glad I didn't.

                              Three of them were a Colt Python, a S&W 5906 and a Ruger Security-Six.

                              None of them are being made anymore, and one has gone up a few bucks in value.

                              Never Sell - unless your hungry or someone is dying.
