Gentlemen, I have the chance to pick up a L/W Commander that's around 90% for $875. I feel like this is a decent price and I've been looking for one for quite sometime. What do ya'll think.

What year and which caliber ?

 

[hjcook1]

.45 looks like 1978 DOB.

 

[Colt75]

Sounds a little high for a 90% gun. Offer $800 green cash. As always, JMHO.

Here is one on GB right now for you to compare. It's around the same price but it looks pretty nice. I don't think either is a steal. I guess it depends on how bad you want it.

Colt 1911 LW Commander Series 70 : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

The one I'm looking at is as good as the one on gunbroker.

 

[59colt]

I'd say the one on GB is at least 95% maybe a little better. If it cycles and functions as it should and the bore is nice then i think that's a fair price.

 

[Colt75]

The one in the GB ad is 95%+. I think $875 would be a darn good price for one in similar condition.

 

[hjcook1]

Oh yea, it's at least that good and the stocks look better. Thanks for you help.

Add $200 and you can have a NIB SS LW Commander 2013 build. Realizing of course that one may prefer an old model but these new pistols coming out of Colt today are top drawer.

Yea I could, but it's not an older Colt and there are other reasons too, if you know what I mean.
