I think you misread my comments - the market on SS 1911's has tightened a LOT with all the new entrants into the market. I think they were tired of having to fight for a limited market. You'll find most STI owners are fanatical in their appreciation for the quality of their guns, and you...

Early this year. Just try to find one of their single stack models - what was left went fast!

Hmmmm.....looks like all of us had more want than money at one time or another....lol Add another Charter Arms to the pile - a .38 I bought when working civilian security while in the Navy. Got shut of it at the range one day when a guy next to me was cussing out his "POS Dan Wesson" that...

Essentially competition builds. They're very well known in those circles, which is what made them SO sweet in the personal-carry side, because their attention to detail and overall build quality standards are top shelf. They're the first 1911 builder I've ever owned that I didn't feel a need...

You don't know STI.......they're an outstanding 1911 manufacturer with roots in the competition side. With all the "Me, too!" manufacturers jumping in, the overall market has gotten glutted (and STI was part of creating that glut). From talking with folks inside the company, they felt they...

Thanks - but that's not only a 9mm, but it's an overpriced 9mm......lol

Brother, you have one of the best ways to remember your Dad a man could ask for. I'd bet he's fine with you tuning it to your taste - it's what I'd want my kids to do. My oldest "family" gun dates back to the 1700's - an old flintlock pistol belonging to a German ancestor that somehow survived...

Local buddy of mine kept putting off buying a STI Elektra - and now, they're no longer made. Guess who's NOW all hot to trot to buy one?!?? Yeah - you guessed it. He's been pestering me to buy one of mine - have told him it ain't gonna happen! Anyways - if any of y'all get a line on one at a...

Sorry - not trying to be "cute", just trying to get feedback without "muddying the waters" as it were. You could well be right on that model number. The serial number would make it about the right age. He said "about $200" - he's a veritable statue of firm squishiness......lol

I emailed him a picture of the 1906 model, and he said it looks just like it, with the grooved forearm......but again, it's not in front of him.

Thanks - and that's my problem....it's a slide action, but that's about all I can say for sure. I've known the owner for a while, and he's selling it on a whim. He's out of state for a while, so can't get me any decent pictures of it. He's going off memory as to the finish, but is sure about...

I've got a fellow wanting me to buy his old .22 (I'm a sucker for rimfires) - but I can't find anything on it - the barrel is marked "Model 524", with a serial # 219***. It LOOKS like a pretty old gun, with an older refinish on it. Anyone able to tell me any more about it, or the possible...

lol - yeah, I hear that! I had a guy all freaking out about it - I told him he's welcome to pay me market value for MY gun, then HE could decide what to do with HIS gun.

Well.....my overall .45 collection is now 78, so not all THAT often, but they do get shot.

Yes, I did - FINALLY!! Thanks!

The 10 various models of Randall .45's in my collection - a culmination of a 33 year quest!

Various guns in my collection

I shall, promise!!

Hey, folks! Based on my quick search, looks like it's been over 6 years since a Randall was last discussed....hard to believe! Looks like I'm finally closing in on the last one needed to round out my collection of each .45 Randall model that left the factory (in quantities greater than 100)...
