Colt's Combat Commander

I recently picked on up on a trade. Production date of 1977. Really good shape other than the original mag is gone. Value's are all over the place. What is middle of the road value for this pistol. I may not have it long as I think I can make a little profit on it.

I'm thinking $800-$1,000 for a blue .45 in vg-ex condition with original grips. Satin Nickel seems to add a little and the 9mm's seem to bring more than the 45's.

That may be true..crazy in my mind!

That's the impression I'm getting. Anything under 800 would be a good deal for one.

Unless it's in new shape, I'd be surprised to see one bring that much. I had one I bought around 86 and sold for $400. It jammed terribly. even after a trip to a gunsmith twice. Mine was blue, not stainless.

Liar! I read on Aldeer that 1911's didn't jam

That one did Goober! That's why I shucked it!

probably limp wristed it......

Well, that would fit Perchjerker's personality...

They didn't make a stainless in 1977. Chrome plated or blue is all so yours must have been a newer model. Also, part of the value is that it's a serial number in the 7's.

"probably limp wristed it......" What would you know you 9mm sissy, AkA sweet Freddie!

one of the guns I sold that I wish I hadn't. 70 series blue Lightweight Commander, 45ACP, Gold Cup hammer, sear, and trigger. Night sights.

Too much gun for yer limp wrists little gurl? Fess up freddie!

not too much gun....damn higher ups at DCNR decided my 1911 was UNSAFE and I couldn't carry it working. I did carry it as back up to a Dan Wesson 357 I carried. The Dept had issued me a S&W Model 10 38 Spcl with a broken opening latch and told meet "do what ever I was man enough to back up"....EXACT WORDS. I got the 357 soon after. Till Dept issued S&W 66 357s.
Same folks wouldn't let me carry a Glock but did let me carry a S&W Sigma(samedamnpistol). and then issued boat anchor Beretta 96s in 40 S&W. I carried the Sigma.
