I have a worthless Chiappa 1911 - .22 that I wish to get rid of. Since I have not heard of a buy-back program anywhere near Central Florida, what is the advisable method to destroy a pistol? It is not repairable.

You could pour some muriatic acid on the frame, then sell the barrel and slide. Hell; a little Sno-Bowl would probably eat the frame up.
Those things have cast zinc frames, and don’t hold up well at all compared to anodized aluminum.

Edit:

Option #2:
Remove the barrel and frame. put the blade in your Skill saw on backwards, and cut the frame into 2-3 pieces.

Sell it to Alec Baldwin.
He can get it to fire without even pulling the trigger.

Contact a parts dealer like Numrich

www.gunpartscorp.com

They will probably buy it from you and part it out.

Better to get something for it rather than nothing.
Looks like this may be a viable option. I'll flesh this out over the next couple of weeks. Thanks.

My shop is in Edgewater. I have an oxy acetylene torch and plasma cutter if you want to watch it melt.
