Colt defender

[Fire1141]

Guys
my gun sales guy just told me he just got in a colt defender. What Is a fair new price? Used price? I'm assuming it's in good condition. I'm going to see it tonite if he's not crazy on the price

I just spotted one for around $899. It was 9MM and looked to be a real nice gun.

Ok 925 new. Stainless. Fair or not?

I have no idea of the real world value of one of those's.

But I found one for sale in the DFW area. This is dated in April, but should give you some idea of pricing....maybe the guy still has it!

That's getting close to Kimber territory!

I know someone with Colts and Kimbers and he prefers the Colts, I think I would too. I have read about just as many problems with Kimbers.

Even if everything else is equal I would take the Colt Defender because it's a Colt. Nothing else will hold its value like a Colt.

Thanks all. Now just have to talk her into the 900, hmm. Anyone have suggestions on that?

Cash talks. In my experience, prices (on many things, not just guns) are more negotiable with cash in hand.
Probably due to two factors...
1. The buyer knows you are serious and not just a "tire kicker". (Not implying you're a tire kicker, I've ticked off enough people today )
2. Due to costs hidden from the consumer,credit always costs the seller more than a cash transaction.

Do you mean your wife? If so,....Don't tell her.

If you must tell her, do it in a public place.

I gave 785 for mine 2 years ago.
Buds in KY has the last price listed at 859.00 (free shipping to boot)

I have both a Colt and a Kimber in a 3" compact 45.
I like the Colt Defender best.
It runs smooth as silk, is easy to carry (ISOB) and eats the XTP hollow points I feed it with absolute dependability.
I have run thousands of rounds through mine, and it just keeps getting better.

When they first appeared on the tables at the Houston shows, they were $720.

Just bought one at Pioneer Gun Shop in Bedford for $859.00
