I've been looking at 1911's for a while now. I know I wanted one, but didn't want to spend a fortune just in case I didn't like it.
Well yesterday went to site in the now broken 740 and my buddy brought his Rock River 1911 which I fired a few rounds through, and at 75 feet put in about an 8 inch group free standing 9 shots.
So yesterday I decided that after I replaced the 740 I would get a 1911.
Well after moping around most of the afternoon yesterday the wife tells me I can go to Gander Mountain and "look" for a new rifle. So me and the old man went out there and looked around for a while and he was looking at pistols. I found a 770 that I like a lot and will probably buy at a later time. But in the display case staring back at me just screaming "look at me, look at me" was a Rock Island Armory 1911 .45 for 299.99. I'm guessing this wasn't too bad of a price, so on layaway it went until next month.
Anything I should know about these? I don't know anything about 1911's, other than I wanted one.
