Series 70(?) 100 Years of Service?

[hals1]

The BX got in one of these. They want $870 for it. Is this a decent deal? What work would need to be done to bring it up to a reliable HD gun?

I was thinking about an M&P 45, but the Colt sure is nice. Great two stage trigger; little bit of pre-travel, then a nice sharp break.

Seems like a good deal. It already is a good gun, but you could upgrade it to a more "updated" look. As far as mandatory work I don't really know that you would need anything. If it were me I would add new sights to the gun and a different beaver tail. Beyond that I would imagine that it would be personal preference more than anything....

$870 is a good deal for a series 70 repro. You're not paying the tax since you're at the BX. I would buy it if I was in your position.

Your base is located very close to mine. I guess I'll have to check my BX when I get home from deployment. They usually just stock Taurus, Kimber, and XDs.

Go for it they are selling for about 950 at my local gun store, awesome pistol..

Great pistol. Should not need any work to be dependable. That is an excellent price. I presume you're talking about the blued model. If that's the price for stainless, run, don't walk, to get it. A really smokin' deal if stainless.

Here's the one I just purchased. Very pleased with it.
