Forgive me, for I have sinned.

I'm a 1911 guy. I have a bunch of 'em in .45acp and .38 Super. Until recently, I've always considered a 9mm 1911 to be blasphemy. But, I have been curious as to what all the fuss was about. They do seem to be quite popular.聽 At the gun show today, I gave in to temptation. I bought one.聽馃槺

I went just intending to look at them. Actually, I really wanted a Commander size. But there were only a very few in the whole show and only full size guns.聽 After passing on a Colt and a stainless Springfield, both priced at well over $1000, I stumbled across this.聽

Rock Island Armory 1911-A1 Tac II. I admit, it was an impulse buy. I have no idea what got into me?聽 This thing has all the bells and whistles. Its like brand new, not a mark on it anywhere. I don't think its ever been fired.聽 But there was no box.聽 It does have a nice trigger pull. Clean and crisp. I know I paid too much, but what the hell?聽 Everything is over priced these days.聽馃檮

Like any new 1911, I will make a couple of changes to suit myself. The flat MSH will be replaced by an arched one and the FLGR will have to go.聽 But I think that's all I'll change. Parts are ordered. Once I get them in, I'll take it to the range and see if a 9mm 1911 is all its cracked up to be.聽

Looks like today I had an expensive brain fart.聽馃檮
