GREAT DEAL!! Prices for the PT1911 around the Tampa area have been 600.00 and up. I have seen a couple of dealers on auctions with a buy it now of 499.00, but I prefer to handle and inspect the actual weapon I will be purchasing. I dont know if saving the extra fifty bucks or so is worth the chance of getting a picked over pistol for one reason or another.
Am I out of line to ask the local dealers to match these on-line dealer prices(including shipping and transfer of course) to support local business and ensure I get what I want?
