Ballister Molina

What are these thing worth? Thinking about dumping mine and may run it in the local paper. I can not remember what I paid for it, but I remember I bought it from SOG a year or so ago. Thanks for any input.

I paid about 175 for one about two years ago, if I recall correctly, and I have seen them for around 250, but that depends on condition.

I might be interested also. Is the slide marked 45 cal or 11.25 mm? I really want to tell my buddies I have an 11mm.

All of the writing on the left side of the slide is worn away for the most part. I can barely make out what appears to be a 11.25 on the slide. Anyone know what that means? Thanks.

I bought one last month on the internet. I paid 250.00, and it's like new. Has been arsenal refinished. That makes three I have now.

the two i have are loose as a goose. one is a mismatch rearsenal, and the other is all match, and just a bit better. they are a great low price 45. both were abt 150$ 2 years ago when they were easy to find. C&R are what you find, where you find them. if there is a flood, the water will leave sooner or later

remember walking in water tit high from abbeville to meaux (3 miles) in 1984. the seven parish area was 60% water covered after 11 days of rain. the first 10 saw 1-2" a day. the 11th saw 11" in 10 hours. followed the gas bubbles from the lines in the street all the way down the straight as an arrow vermillion parish road.

Nonetheless you disgust me, and I take comfort in the knowledge that your obituary will be nowhere near as humorous as mine.


The next time I hear "THE RANGE IS NOW HOT", it just wont be the same.

Max tried another question. "What sort of people live about here?"
"In THAT direction," the Jin said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Han: And in THAT direction," waving the other paw, "lives a Ming Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Max remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Jin: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Max.
"You must be," said the Jin, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Wouldn't mind having a Molina...where'd you find three of them? They seem to be harder to find than that?

Thanks much folks. Sold mine to an officer of the law for 200 bucks. Hope he enjoys it.

Two I have I've bought over the past few years, and the third just last month. One I have converted to 400 CorBon, and replaced the sights with a 3 dot sight system. Although not a 1911, they are very good 45 auto.
