I got a loan for $1000 for a new gun for my dad. When I was talking to my dad about getting him a 7mag he wasn't too excited or anything so I thought about it real hard and went down to the local shop and bought a PT1911 with a stainless slide. It sure is a doozy. All in all with an extra mag, box of FMJs ($23.99 WTF?) and my elk and deer tags it cost me $811. The game tags were like $80 somethin total but I think I got a pretty decent deal; even with the overpriced Taurus mag at $38 and the $24 box of FMJs. 3mags a sick lookin gun and my game tags? Not bad aye? You might ask what about getting you dad that gun...well being's he wasn't too revved up about it I spose he has what he needs for the time being and instead I'm going to refurbish his reloading stock for .22-250. Get him some new brass, powder, primers and bullets over the course of a time and I think he'll be pretty stoked about that at least. =)
PS> I'm gonna post pics tonite.

Now I'm in the market for a holster...I have a leather one in mind down at the store I got my gun from, but I was also looking at the Blackhawk-Serpa holsters. This one in particular but maybe a different model who knows.
That is a Great Looking 1911 !!! The holster at Cheaper Than Dirt is very popular and I think you'll like it.
My son bought a couple for his Glocks BUT if your like him you'll end up buying 2 or 3 more holster of differing styles.
Archtype, that is a good lookin 1911, i have a fobus holster for my 1911 and its full size and fits in there as snug as a bug in a rug... look those up as well and compare i think the fobus is cheaper price wise any way... have fun buddy!

Shot the gun today and by no means am I even mediocre at shooting pistol and I put all but the first shot in a 6inch circle from about 25 yards away. I wasn't at my usual range because there is road construction by my house and so is the range so it'd be a nightmare getting either to the range or getting to my house after lol.

I am struck by this 1911...It is drop dead gorgous !!! I like how it looks. Congrats feller !!!
I was too, I was holding some other guns there and this one just had me. The beauty and intimidation is just amazing. Its also very comfortable once you get your hand snug in and have that firm grip on it. It felt really good with gloves on (I was working the slide with an empty mag to practice slide-release) as well which is a plus as I want to be able to use the gun should I have to when I'm hunting. Between blackbears, mountain lions and the rare wolf the size of a over-sized german shephard if you don't believe me I got the pictures from a game cam from the local G&F to prove it; or the rare grizzly you can never be too safe. You never know when you won't have the chance to pull up the ol Rem 700 .30-06 in time when something is approacing you.

I think when income tax comes around I'm gonna buy another.
One thing is for sure I'm glad I saw yours with a different set of grips, I wasn't sure if I would have to get Ambi-Safety specific grips or not. THANKS MAN!!!
