I have an opportunity to buy a RIA 1911 Tactical, basically new with only 50 rounds down range for $500 but without a mag. It is also upgraded with Dawson precision fiber optic sights (supposedly a $70 upgrade), which I probably would have done anyway.
I've never owned a 1911 and I've only owned 1 other handgun before (CZ 82) and I wanted to get another automatic. I like the 1911 because it has a pretty slender grip since I have smaller hands and it's just cool.
I wouldn't be shooting it that much so ammo cost isn't to much of a consideration. I'd have it mostly for fun and I'd also have it for home defense.
It retails at Turner's for $579. I wanted to get some opinions on if this was a good deal. I know I'd basically be paying about $30 extra dollars to do a transfer and all other fees would be the same. I am almost positive I wouldn't have to pay sales tax so I'm guessing I'm saving about $100 but without any mags...
