I can identify the VZ operator grips in predator green, so the pistol is at least worth $65

Looks like a custom II TLE RL in stainless

rj1974 got it.
Here is the specs on that gun.. bear in mind MSRP is always higher, then what it usally sells for, unless your are shopping at Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas gun counter.

I think that's the one. THANK YOU
It looks like they sell for about $1050 on average. Seller is asking $700. I think that would be fair. Any thoughts?

Why is the seller selling it after just 500 rounds? Is there an idiot scratch on it? Does the gun function properly? Bore is clean (no rust etc)?

Belongs to a friend of a friend who is hard up for the cash. I am not 100% sold on the all stainless but seems like to good of a deal to pass up.
700 would be a good deal if the gun is as nice as it looks. Good luck!

TLE's are a little pricier. And the TLE should be stamped on the right side of the slide. There is the rail, front strap checkering and the night sights which are premium features on any good name 1911.
Gunbroker shows new from $929 to $1150 and I don't see any bids on them. Add $60 to $120 to get them in the state and out the door.

This is the LAPD SWAT gun, but in stainless. (Custom TLE-RL II)
I have the normal non-stainless version and it has a propensity to develop surface rust if you sneeze on it etc. It shoots like a dream with a much better trigger than a TRP, however if I had to do it all over again I would definitely go the stainless route.

I actually like the stainless finish on those. I have a Stainless Target II - its not too shiney. Its been a great gun, and has digested MANY rounds without issues.
Im not personally a fan of rails on 1911s, but to each their own. I suppose if you have a needed use for the rail, then its what you need.
