Sell 1911 Pistols to a Licensed Buyer

The 1911 platform spans military surplus originals, mid-century commercial guns, and modern custom builds, and we buy across that entire range. Frame and slide fit, finish, and any custom gunsmithing work are all part of how we evaluate a 1911.

What we look at

Frame and slide fit, barrel bushing tightness, trigger and sear condition, and any custom fitting or refinishing are all part of our review.

What to include

Note the manufacturer, caliber, and whether the pistol has had a trigger job, sights, or other gunsmith work performed.

Condition and originality

Original GI parts matter more on military-surplus guns, while custom work and upgraded components are expected and valued on modern builds.

Paperwork and accessories

Include magazines, holsters, and any documentation of custom gunsmithing work performed on the pistol.
