So, I have been waiting patiently for the Ruger SR1911 to hit the stores. I've always wanted a nice, budget 1911 in stainless. It has the features I've always wanted: silver stainless, no front slide serrations, 8-round mag (7-rounder included too), price around $600-$700.
So I went to my local gun shop/range today to put 100 rounds through my XD-9 service, and lo and behold, they had a new Ruger SR1911 in stock! Price: $619. I could not resist. Even though I don't really have the money to spare, I bought her anyway. I knew I wanted a 1911; this is the one I want; they have it in stock; it hasn't been pawed up by 500 customers; it was reasonably priced. So the hell with it I made the purchase! With tax and background check fee, I think the total came to $674 (well under 7 bills)...
Now I have the living hell of the Wisconsin 48 hour waiting period. I can't pick up my new baby until Thursday afternoon. Aaaaaaaaargghhhhhh!!!!
As soon as I take her to the range, I will let you guys know how it went. I have never owned or shot a 1911 before, so I will have nothing to compare it too, but I will divulge anything I can and give you guys some pictures, too.
More to come, my fellow 1911 freaks!!! :twisted:
