Mmmmm yummy if you don't mind me asking about how much did it run you? I have been looking for a 1911 for a while now, but everyone that I have found has been out of my price range. -------------

What do you need it for and what is your price range? There is no such thing as a cheap 1911, just one you haven't finished paying for yet. KBK |

Basically as a traget/home defense weapon, the only ones I have found in town won't go for any less than $900. The reason I want the 1911 is because my dad used to have one and I really liked the way it shot, and it has good knock down power. -------------

Cabelas has a SA WWII spec 1911 for $500 in PA. Id imagine online/other stores have something similar.
Me personally, I want a centennial 1911(not the gaudy gold inlay one, the basic model) ahough they raised the MSRP from $800 to $1150. -------------

I can't recall their prices, but around $350. That being said, I have not personally used one, and only have sketchy 3rd hand stories. But they say it is solid and it works. Enough for a range gun that can back up as a HD gun. |

I'll have to remember that, I probably won't make a move on one till this summer anyways, because if I had it at school it would just have to be locked up in the security office. -------------

Like I said, no guarantees on it, and you might just find you'll spend a bunch on "improvements", but for $350 it sounds like a nice gun to have in the safe for range trips and just in case.
I'd love to get one of their frames to start on. KBK |

I really want a gun, and everyone getting a new gun every day really doesn't help that.

I think in MA, you have to have a backround check. 1 year wait period. And cavity search.

Frequent "cavity checks" one of the few things that do not fall under the aforementioned "everything." ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Good question on both, right now I'm going to change the fact that I haven't shot it and put some lead through it and see whats up. And they are checkered plastic, I might replace those with something slick looking.
