Something new came home with me yesterday

[Burrhead]

Well guys the Jap rifle deal fell through when I got the rifle home and took her apart the inside of the stock was a mess but worse the firing pin was broken.something I hadn't noticed at the shop, anyway I took it back and that money was kind of burning a hole in my pocket and the shop was running the Ruger SR1911 on special for $629.95 new in the box with a bushing wrench, two magazines, and a ruger soft case, so to recover from the disappointment I bought this to make me feel better ( that bonus was burning a hole in my 62 year old pockets). They had 50 of these to sell at this price when they started the sale at the first of the month and they are down to about 20 now, I got mine and a nice weapon it sure is. I was glad I took this week off as I wanted to shoot as much as I could, sure aren't seeing much in the way of a Deer so I guess I'll shoot paper instead. Here's two picture of the gun one from the Williams web sight and one I took last night at my desk.

That was money well spent.

My goodness Burrhead. Now you have done it. You gave me a heart attack! That is a spanking good deal on a stainless steel 45 Ruger. I hate to say it, but I am glad the rifle deal fell apart. You are gonna have a great time chunking 230 gr pills downrange.

Oh yes that is sweet

Nice looking 1911! I am trying to close a deal on a Colt Wiley Clapp Commander...

Super sweet, I got a bone for 1911's

Just something about a good 1911... The Prophet, JMB, made one hell of a design.

I often wonder if he was a cousin to the Mosin makers...

When I got my Colt years ago, it had Pachmayr grips, then I experimented with the simulated ivory, then more but different Pachmayr grips. Recently I found a set of original style grips with the Colt medallions and like them a lot.

[Burrhead]

My Colt 1991A1 is still wearing the original grips I got with the gun when I purchased it in. That was December of 1994 and I have never felt the need to change the grips. I think the only gun I have changed the grip panels on my my Ruger MKII 22 and I have the originals in the gun safe down stairs. I try and keep everything so I cn put them back to original if I want. So far I like the grips on the SR1911 and we will see what the future holds for that but right now I'll stick to the originals.

Very nice! Was that from Williams Gun Sight in Davison? I've been very tempted to make the trip out there (I'm ~60 miles away from either home or work). I've heard good things about that place.

Let me put it this way, I have a season pass to the range and shoot there about every two weeks when work doesn't get in the way, the Boss get's me a new pass for our anniversary every year (she's a good wife). They are one of the best stocked gun shops I have ever been in and their prices are usually lower than any of the other shops I frequent. I'll shop around but usually wind up buying from them. I have done business with them for over 30 years and never had a problem that didn't get corrected.

It sounds like they have learned the value of having a customer for life, rather than trying to make a killing on a single transaction. My kind of place.
