(cont.)

bought some wilson combat 8-round mags

and some obligatory gun/ammo/accessories pr0n pix:

already took it to the range - very nice! still feels a little stiff, especially the trigger, but we'll see how it goes after a few hundred rounds through it.

tracked it down through gunbroker.com, paid $850 for it. pix taken with canon digital elph sd100, edited with irfanview.

I drooled on I mean looked at one of those just last week at a shop. Kinda like the Kimber Eclipse, that finish treatment is DEAD SEXY!!!!!!! The one I handled was fitted very nicely as well.

VERY nice gun and VERY nice pictures. Congrats!!!

AAAAHHHHHHH!!! a guide rod in a 1911!!!!!!

All kidding aside, it is a beautiful gun. If it shoots as good as it looks, then it's worth every cent.
