I've not seen one anywhere for much under $600...G4G has one and it' $595, which is definitely the lowest price I've seen.  Maybe you're looking at the single stack version?

$640.00 at Buds, but I'm sure they can be found for less on GB or other. Mine was in the mid 600 hundreds sometime back, but none were to be found in my area, and I wanted it bad : )

I did a quick search for 52009 on gun.deals and at least 5 popped up for under 550, looks like they arent very up to date as several prices have changed and others are oos
Top 5 were Gmidwest, g4g,hinterland,tooele,& Hoosier
Tried to post a pic of the page but file is too big

Not if I beat you.  For $500 I will be happy to have two.

I know 5he op said "under $500", but you can pick one of these up anyday brand new for $525 (g4g) I like my 52000 bit it's too heavy for carrying (for me anyway) ended up as a range only gun for me

Texashogman, if you decide to sell yours I'm in Dallas!

If I had to choose one single aspect of the RIA Ultra that I like the most, it would be the general 'utility' look.  I grew up with a dad who wouldn't have a civilian firearm other than the shotgun--other than the 870, it was war surplus. I really grew up in a firearm environment where 'pretty' was an FN FAL, and anything prettier than that wasn't too welcome. If it wasn't Parkerized, it wasn't worth having. 'New' meant it still had Cosmoline poured into it somewhere.

So, that's what I love most about this 1911.  Second most is the mass.  I'm not carrying it anywhere, so the heft is nice, and with medium to medium-hot loads...the M1 Abrams of 10mm auto pistols is sweet indeed.

The paisto resisto is the price. It's a real satisfaction knowing I saved enough money over having purchased many other options to buy a complete Dillon reloading outfit...easily. I really prefer to shoot rather than admire a 'fine handcrafted firearm'.  I have two of those 'armchair' guns that I spent too much on and love to wipe with a soft cloth and admire...but that's enough. They're all meant for shooting, and the RIA is begging for the 5,000 rds it needs to feel a part of the family.  No molly-coddling tolerated, and some abuse maybe welcomed. No hard feelings if it starts to show holster scrub--heck it might even look a little better with the grip wrapped in that cloth electricians tape.

It's a favorite, I'm glad you're getting to enjoy yours.
