I haven't seen any used PT 1911's around here. But I did get mine new a couple years ago for less than $650!!
Asking $650 and getting it are two different things. But I did hear one question recently in a crowded gun shop that made me think he might get the asking price... A guy just bought what looked like a 1911 (Rock Island maybe? i didn't get a good look) and asks the guy behind the counter... "This takes a special size bullet right?" (And I don't think he was thinking along .357/.38 special lines based on all I overheard...) I'm not knocking him at all, he did ask a smart question, but it seems like people who never had an interest are buying now for the first time, that's a great thing but it also means many are going to get ripped off!
