Go ahead buy it, you know you need it. It’s an investment for your very old age retirement. :D

What da phuck!?! I'm glad you didn't plunk down the donuts for that pistol. Then you'd be obligated to pay for the $200 tax stamp and god knows how much for a .45 suppressor. If you didn't, all the peeps at the range would be saying "tacticool" and calling you mall-ninja behind your back. -In envy of course, because everyone wants to rack a gun on their belt one-handed just once to see if you can do it without shooting your own leg or the person in the lane next to you.

Somehow I don't see how Sarah would approve of that purchase either.

It is soooo tight and so cool in the flesh, so to speak. The image does not do it justice. Everything is right, the stipling, the trigger, everything.

So you talked me out of it cuz image is everything and I need to maintain my eccentric, professorial, daft scientist facade.That pistol would just scream poser....

But it is haunting me....

Dan Wessons are the shit, really. You should take a look at the less-expensive models too--I love the Valors.

Um, it's time for a fashion statement......321Surfer is making me a dual 1911 shoulder holster and...GASP! My 1911s don't match.

I need to stainless 1911 for the family to match my Metro Arms long slide (aka the Anchor, dubbed so by Hunterofskulls). I've been selling off more guns to raise some cash....

What to do? This one will live in the right-handed holster. My only requirements is that it has an extended beaver tail and no fiber optic/adjustable sights.

Yeah, we're having this conversation where you guys help me pick out a gun so that I match when I wear my dual shoulder holsters.

You should track down two AMT Hardballers and get them silver plated, get some nice black ebony for grips and get threaded barrels for them.

I actually got in some window shopping......looked at a bunch of 1911s.

Top of the heap that I saw today? Two (ok, two and a half) pistols....the first one is a Colt Combat Commander series 80. It has the GI style slide w/ vertical serrations but it comes with three dot sights and an extended beaver tail. The second was a Smith and Wesson 1911E. I really, really like the scaled cocking serrations. The half gun that I mention was another 1911E but in this case, engraved. I thought the engraving was nice.

None of them had an ambi safety but otherwise, they would all be nice additions to my perversions.


Anyway, still selling off a gun or two. Will have a pot of money to reinvest into more guns soon.

You've probably seen a few pics of my Springfield milspec stainless 1911. It's brushed stainless--this is in contrast to the shiny stainless of my Vaquero and GP100. This is a velvety brushed stainless that easily snags powder residue. But it's stainless.

i think this discussion is happening at all because saint john moses' progeny is one of those rare instances where function, as near perfect as it is, is a product of form and vice-versa. so yes, it's all good. no amount of gilding can diminish the essential beauty of this lily. carry on.

Now, THIS sounds like it should be a new thread. Where do you think Browning's downstream industrial influence was beyond firearms? Smells like an art project.

As someone who got to fondle a 1946 Vintage Remington Model 11 20gauge autoloader this weekend... yeah, he was a visionary.
