Xavier has a great post on the step by step method to check out a used 1911.
Good advice on how to spot for various kinds of wear damage, and improper mantinance.
And many functionality tests.
I picked up a used Kimber Custom II for a song. I was able to because on feild stripping I found why the slide lock was not funtioning properly. Someone had added a buffer to the guiderod that retarded the full travel of the slide.
Took some work and replacement of extractor and the expected spring work, but got a good gun out of it.
