​Once you play with a SA the island guns seem to fad away.........

This post is spot on. I've had my SA RO for under a year and I'm already looking at a Loaded or TRP in stainless. Springfield makes a very nice 1911 for the $$

I'm heading to an outdoor range Thursday. If you'd like to join me your more than welcome. If you don't have my number anymore just PM me.

Did you order the Ruger from USDS? I ordered a rifle Saturday and was just curious if mine might have been shipped at the same time.

Ordered a Savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter in 308

I still have your number and I appreciate the offer, but I have a birthday party to attend after work on Thursday I will be at Parabellum this Saturday for their INGO event. 9 - 6, one hour of range time for $10 for INGO members. Sounds like a good time to break in the new gun!

Also, I picked up the SR1911 from CDNN Sports, FFL to USDS. I didn't even think about asking them to order it

When you get your gun let me know.

Will do. It's supposed to be at USDS tomorrow afternoon. Hoping it arrives as expected!

You are more than welcome to come out to MCF&G with me sometime as a guest and run any of mine.

Damn CM, You're really going to turn him onto one of your fine tuned Springfield "Rat Guns"??
He's going to get spoiled and expect all 1911s to be that smooth, tight, and accurate. Cold Man.

I can totally see that happening.

I bought my first handgun in April of '13. It was a gen 3 G19. My buddy was over showing me how to field strip it and talking about various things and he said, "now, when you start looking for your next gun" and I interrupted him and said "wait a minute, I bought this gun for home defense and don't need anything else". He just smiled and shook his head and we talked about something else. 6 months later, almost exactly a year ago, he took me to BGF and I got to shoot my G19 for the first time. Up till BGF closed down recently due to the fire, I had been going to the range once or more a week ever since. I've also bought 8 more handguns since that time, sold 3 of them and pieced together an AR-15. So yeah, I've got the bug pretty bad. I can only imagine what buying my first 1911 is going to do.

Yea it gets worse, really worse! LOL.

Ya-think.....................

I have tried to thin the herd on several occasions. It makes me crazy when there is room in the pistol safe.

LOL! It doesn't hurt a bit. There are the occasional 1911 withdrawal shakes and sweats, window shopping with so many options over $2K, cheap imports you'll eventually learn to avoid, and finally realize the quality 1911s are worth every penny. Then you find you need more pennies to get your fix.

Yea I have learned to just quickly scan anything Church Mouse writes you tend to go out and buy Springers! LOL. But I will admit my new TRP and RO in 9MM are fantastic choices and love them both.
