Well look what I bought today...

[Guest durdensfriend]

I bought my first 1911 today... a Springfield Loaded (NM serial, so FINISHED in the US). What a beautiful gun! I've been jonesing for a 1911 for some time and had my mind made up on the TRP but for half the price I couldn't be happier! I put 20 rounds through it and shot better than I've ever shot in my life. My first shot was dead center in the head and my second went straight through the hole the first shot made. Needless to say, I was in love at that very moment.

Here are some quick pics I took... sorry about the poor lighting:

Very pretty!!!

Spoken like a true lady.....Sounds just like my wife.....

That is a nice piece, but I've give it a little more than 20 rds before I put all my eggs in the basket.

[Guest .45Jon]

Nice...Very Nice.

[Guest EasilyObsessed]

Good choice! Sharp lookin' gun.

Well yeah, but it was the best first 20 I've ever shot (I had a box of 100 and was tempted to shoot it all!)

Blow and go baby, blow and go. They sell it everyday....

[Guest gunslinger707]

Nice lookoing gun !!

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

Very nice gun. if you dont mind what does one of those sell for?

[Guest durdensfriend]

I got mine used for about $750 with 3 free range passes (which are worth about $45... and go to the range weekly) so I came out OK. I probably could've gotten one a bit cheaper on the net somewhere but at least I didn't have to fool with shipping and all that extra business... and as you can see in the pics its freaking brand new. I'll definitely have this one for a long time.

Nice looking Springer,They are good guns.

[Guest HogMan]

Nice looking shooter.

[mousegunner]

1911s are nice looking, and they are very accurate. Nice gun you have there!

[VERO1]

I don't think you'll regret buying that one. I had an early model that I wish I would have hung on to.

[Guest flyfishtn]

Very nice. I like it a lot. Now go buy some of the Wilson Combat ETM mags to compliment your fine weapon.

Oh Geez, another 1911 fan. You ought to wake up and join the 21st Century, and get some tupperware. You know the design is so old, it probably doesn't even work anymore, plus you don't have a 19 round magazine so you're never gonna be able to get one on target. Don't you know you can't hit a target farther than 5 feet away with one of those?

That gun is too complicated to actually use, you know - I mean, it has a safety. Besides, it was designed by JMB ages ago. It can't stand up to any abuse, it'll jam on you, probably fall apart first time you take your eyes off it, and you won't find it in any new video games, so it must be a real clunker.

Springfield's are noted for their longevity. as you can tell, my brother (mark@sea) was being facetious.

All those things have been said about the 1911...and for some reason they keep making them.

Just about every single action automatic has some part of the 1911 or owes its genesis to the 1911.

I can't think of a better way to welcome you as a follower of JMB than to give you this link.
