I'd check out a certified used Lexus. From my experience the CPO program from lexus is really great and surpasses other makes in terms of coverage and how well they'll work with you if anything were to go wrong. I forget the website, but theres a chart somewhere comparing the coverage levels of all luxury makes on their CPO programs. I currently have a CPO acura tsx, and so far my dealership has been excellent as well. I go to either Montclair Acura or Park Ave Acura by paramus. Any service or warranty work i've ever needed was always free of charge and always had a nice loaner car waiting for me the moment I got there. I know acura and lexus aren't on your list, but I've had nothing but excellent service from both and could be worth checking out.

Just went to bullethole earlier today. Not sure who said there's a 1 box per person limit but I bought 4 boxes of tula .45acp for $20/box with a buddy of mine that wanted to let off some steam with his kimber. It was all they had left but it's way cheaper than anywhere else. Got there just before closing and had a great time. Wasn't packed at all and even though it was past their usual 8pm closing time, no one was rushed to get finish their port times. If anyone was looking, they have a beautiful S&W E-series 1911 in the display case. I believe its the one that's coated with melonite - very hard to find.

Thats a beautiful 1911, but really expensive.

Wow that really sucks... springfield must be slammed judging by the posts from other 1911 forums. Hope your issue gets resolved

Yea its only the 5" that has front serrations. The spartan IV has the 4.26" bull barrel I believe.

very nice choice.

where did you buy it?

dawsonprecision says it'll take 24 weeks to deliver if anyone was looking for the STI spartan

dropped my paperwork off 1/4, still nothing.

congrats!!

All sold out every where I can find. sadface...

Thanks for the link. I think is might be my only option at this point with free shipping nonetheless.

Thanks Troy. I tried dawson earlier but they're completely sold out. They have a good price too. Thanks for the input guys

Also, would I be able to swap out the trigger for the usual 1911 replacement?

I'm really digging the spartan IV or 5" in 9mm and I think this will be my next buy. Can anyone direct me to any sites or shops that carry these?

Prices are definitely coming back down. Check out jgsales.com for an $800 converted saiga 5.45 - not bad at all

Thanks to Junkmanted's generosity I finally got a chance to clear out the barrel! Very grateful the dark patch wasnt a chunk missing from the bore and was cleared out after a few swipes from a stainless bore brush. Now I just have to finish sanding down the stock and refinish the wood. Ill be going for an alcohol based stain thanks to Hodgies advice. Thanks for all the help guys

Says its a 2-3 week delay on the site. Not too terrible considering $22/box with shipping for half a case

Nope

Jim @ bullethole is a good guy (younger guy with the beard). If anyone visits bullethole, he's a very good shooter and if he's willing, can show you some good pointers. I've personally never seen anyone shoot as accurately as he has at the 23 yard mark in that range. Last time I was there they had a bunch of Kimbers, Sigs, Berettas, and some para ordnance handguns in the case if anyone was looking. Not so many used guns.

welcome to the forum!

I wish sgammo would restock again soon. Kicking myself for not ordering more the last time

Do you think we'll ever .45acp for $16 per box of 50 again?

Probably wont be any cheaper than that for a while

thanks for the info dan
