That's about what I'm planning on spending, only problem is I have other things on my want list, like a Sig 522

Well unless your a woman then you can insert your favorite male heart throb.

Damn forgot about our LGBT friends. Ok just insert any person or thing you like to get it on with in my first statement.

Sheesh!


LMAO

A good 1911 is a work of art in engineering, form, and function. John Moses Browning was a genius.

Where do you get this 'FREE' cash?

1911's Rulz!!

I've got a couple modern 1911's but here is my crown jewel. It's dated 1918 I still need to pick up the right grips and magazine though.

Yes I am aware of the more expensive custom 1911's but none shoot better based on everything I've read. The Professional pretty much rings out about 99% of all the performance you can expect out of a 1911. Everything else is window dressing and ego. The last time I shot a Professional it was side by side with my TRP. Honestly after 100 rounds there was little difference between the performance of the two.
