My wife got one, and the dog ate it.  She's been more careful with this one. :rant:

The governor is a Republican.  Baltimore has been Democrat for 50+ years, and has elected black mayors 4 of the past 5 times.  A can of worms has been opened up by the mayor whether she realizes it or not.  If my business or home was burned and looted, I'd sue the city.

  Who is going to pay for cleaning up the damage?  Who is going to pay for the destruction of property?  Who isn't going to try and sue the mess out of the city of Baltimore after the Mayor let's this go on?  Ultimately, the poor taxpayers are the ones that end up footing the bill.  The National Guard should have been called out a lot sooner to stop this type of nonsense.

Colt shows theirs with a 7 round mag. It's not like you won't need more!!!

I found this little jewel. I thought I read where you like stainless. I'm just the opposite.

Nice!!! Let us know how it shoots!

I love the S&W 1911s, but the warning on the slide ruins it for me. The first shot I ever took with a 1911 was with a Smith, and it was a bullseye. I was sold on the platform after one trigger pull.

I prefer shiny blue pistols. There's not too many 1911s that don't have a coating on them. I chose this one.

Nice pick up. I've always liked the CZ75, and want to get one. Playing around with them at the NRA show was great too. Congrats.

I was born and raised in Memphis, and the problems in that city have been going on since before the cobblestones were laid on the riverbank by the slaves. Nothing will ever change there. Memphis is doomed like Detroit. There's not really much hope due to the racism on both sides.

Out of all the striker fired pistols I pulled the trigger on at the show, this one was one of the nicest. 

I'd be in for a T shirt.  I've ordered a shirt from these people before.   http://teespring.com/

The Ultra line of Rock Island 1911s look really nice. I spent quite a bit of time at the NRA show at their booth. I was very impressed by their pistols. The small graphic on the gun sure beats their old roll marks.

The CZ booth was really nice. Loved their pistols!

What a blast this show was!!! It was just so unreal to be able to handle so many firearms from so many vendors. I have enough swag to last for months. I hope the NRA returns in 8 years or so.

The ability to fondle so many different weapons is awesome. There are great prices on t shirts and hats. Lots of free swag too. I'll be there today for sure.

FYI, Hermitage Wally World does have 100 round Federal packs of 45 auto for $28.97.

1911s are supposed to be blue, not stainless!

There is a Sig for sale in  the classifieds.  It's a beauty.

I was right there with you.  I really wanted a 1911, but had never shot one.  I finally rented a S&W at Nashville Armory.  My first shot was a bulls eye, so i was hooked.  At the low end of your price range, a Springfield or Ruger would be excellent choices.  When you get up into the upper ranges, it brings in Sig Sauers, S&Ws, and even Colt.   You need to decide if you want a standard mil spec weapon, or one with a lot of the goodies.  I ended up purchasing a Colt XSE for around $900 plus tax.  You can get mil spec Colts for around $700.  I just like the all blue 1911.  Good luck.

I shot some of this today, and it was jam-o-matic.  Stay away!!!  :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:                                       Uh...joking

Saturday and Sunday for me.  I look forward to it.  We should have TGO T shirts.
