Has anyone bought a gun from Caso's lately?

Im only on day 4. Hope I get that call

Haha.. very true. I never insure anything either but I get concerned once in a while knowing how often ups damages packages. I have to deal with ups claims at work occassionally and its a pain in the ass. UPS uses a third party company to handle all damages and loses and they're like robots on a script.

11 weeks...

maybe I have my hopes up but I spoke with frank over at caso's and he says his average nics wait is 2-4 days my wait started this morning at 9am...

Do you guys order ammo online with shipping insurance? Or do you think its a waste of a few bucks?

Same here. Good to know it finally shipped

Finally got my permits. It took 2 months and 3 weeks....

Welcome to the forum

Nothing on my end as well

Give world class steel a call. They might have some. Sorry I dont have their # on hand

Nice! Hope you enjoy that. If only I had known about melonite coated 1911s I wouldve gone for that. I think its a great looking finish.

Whoa... haha well at least you got back a better than stock 1911 back from SA

What was wrong with your RO that they had to fit a new slide?

Nice find. I actually located one semi-locally and am trying to figure out when I can go check it out.

Range officer: stainless steel barrel / forged steel frame & slide + standard guide rod Custom TLE II: steel barrel, steel frame, and steel slide + full length guide rod (this is a matter of preference) Kimber also only has a 1-year warranty, although I hear they'll honor the warranty to some degree past the 1 year mark. Range officer has a lifetime warranty

It was great to meet you and thanks again. Smooth sale.

Great to meet you bro. Smooth transaction

Another big plus with the RO is that the frame and slide are forged steel, not aluminum, so theres that original heavy 1911 feel that will last forever. Ive also been partial to full sized 1911's and the slightly longer sight radius. There are just so many to choose from with different materials (aluminum/cast/forged), finishes, interal parts (MIM vs barstock), railed models, etc... Take your sweet time with it so you get exactly what you want out of it. I chose the range officer because its mainly just a range toy with good features and relatively decent price for a lifetime warrantied pistol. STI pistols are also good for that same reason.

+1 on the range officer. The wait is killing me to pick mine up at casos... just sitting in the safe... Not sure what you're looking for but I really like having target sights on my 1911. The range officer suposedly has similar qualities as the TRP and Trophy match but without all the bells and whistles. It also has a "match grade" barrel and very tight barrel bushing fit.

Winchester ranger T series 230gr... its one hell of a nasty round.

Cant go wrong with any of those places. Ive bought guns from bullethole, casos, pk90's arms' n'ammo, and meltzers. They've all been great and I'd go back to all of them if I still had money to spend. The only problem these days is feeding new guns with ammo.

Nice win! I think id immediately buy another gun if there was any selection left.

Nice choice. Cant wait to pick up my range officer. Where did you pick yours up from? I agree with one of the above posts refarding the barrel link. It might not be aligned right if it was only a basic take down.
