IMHO before you buy it or trade for it, look down the barrel, and also cycle the slide, also ask when he bought it............

Thanks . He says he bought it in 2011 and barely shot it. I can do a visual inspection and try the controls but that still won't tell me if Metro makes a good gun or not. I'm still too new to 1911's to notice all the little things. For me to pursue this, I'd want to know that Metro is as good or better than RIA. Is that a reasonable/knowable way to approach it?

Check this out: http://metroarms.net/ and they only have a 1 year warranty, RIA has a Life Time Warranty.
