So, I started my day off this morning by taking off work but still getting up early. Headed down to Whittaker Guns in Owensboro, KY. For those who haven't been there... It's 
Anyway, I went down for Ruger Days in hopes of snagging the elusive SR1911. I got there 15 minutes before they opened and there were already about 15 people in line. I hopped in line expecting the worst, but to my surprise they came out and counted us and told us that we should all be able to get a SR1911. YAY!!! By the time the doors opened, there were more than 25 in line waiting for their shot at a SR1911. They only had 30. As we walked in, they basically handed them out with 4473s on top of them. It was really pretty funny to see. I'd say by 8:02 there were only 3 or 4 SR1911s left on the counter, and no way they were there longer than another 15-20 minutes. They went soooo fast!! They mentioned possibly getting another 20 in maybe tomorrow or late today but were unsure. The best part, $599!!! I'm 
I told Darryl that I needed it to go to J&S and then I began to feel sorry for myself because I wouldn't be able to get it until Monday. For those that don't know, Jim from J&S comes down every Saturday to pick up transfers and takes them back to Evansville where we SWern Indiana guys can pick them up. He only charges $20 to go get them and transfer them. Very reasonable in my opinion. I'm
Well... I shopped around and grabbed a few other things, drooled, and chatted with the Ruger rep (who was really a cool guy) for the next hour or so. My regret about not being able to get the gun until the following week started to really get to me, so I went up and talked to Darryl to ask about just shipping it up to Right to Bear Arms where I could probably get it on Friday. He said Jim had actually just walked in to buy an LC9 and was going to take this mornings guns back with him. I couldn't run over to Jim fast enough. I asked him if he was going to have them available later today, and he said, "I'll see ya' at 1." I about hugged him. haha. Now, I'm
I put a couple mags through it when I got home. Great shooting pistol. I waited a long time, but it was SO worth it. Great gun, fantastic price. Mmmm... Love me some Whittaker Guns!!! BTW, the blued mag in the pics is an old 1911 magazine we found in a box of gun stuff of my grandpa's. Functioned and fed fine. Gotta lovwe compatibility.
Well, enough jibber-jabbering... on with the PICS!!!
