fatty

dammit I should never have sold my 500.

Harry, that was sticker price that I could've had for $110 less online. The SA range officer I just put in a deposit for was $899 at caso's. Summit Gun Broker is selling for $789 (no clue what that guy charges for shipping + transfer + NICS). The average online price is hovering around $800 for what I wanted, but i was convinced to go through caso's just for the way I was treated.

I agree. Lisa is very nice and accomodates to every customer in the way they should be treated. I paid a good amount more than I was willing to for my 1911... I couldve paid $100 less online, but im more than happy to support her shop. Plus I didn't feel rushed to buy anything like a lot of the other gun shops do, which is pretty unsettling and uncomfortable. The only issue is the lack of parking. I had to walk a good distance

Very happy with the results!

Springfield Armory Range Officer

Hell I already have my eye on another 1911. Next one will be a colt !

Clintoon which 1911 are you going with? Im very partial to springfield armory... hard to beat quality with a lifetime warranty

Thats one beautiful 1911. I was just at casos today for my own SA 1911. I guess you took the last S&W. Enjoy!

Damn.. doesnt look like ill be enjoying this gun for a while... just met with the captain a few minutes ago and was told my permits wont be done for at least another month. Apparently the PD is flooded with fid and permit applications for the first time since all this bullsh!t started.

Congrats david!

Cant wait to take this baby home... Thanks guys

I'm trying convert people as well. Especially family members who've been on the fence for some time and I think i've been successful with two uncles. Most just don't have the money to buy anything and don't see a point in applying for their FID/p2p they can't get what they would really want... which I can completely understand. Its just upsetting to see people react to the whole situation and become 100% anti-2A. It's even more sad to see people believe everything they see and hear on TV...

also didn't want the full length guide rod that the 'loaded' model has from springfield. that thing looks like such a pain in the ass to disassemble for cleaning

Yea it does feel good in the hands. To me it felt much better than the Sig 1911, which surprisingly had a very loose slide to frame fit.

Just put down a deposit on this beauty at Caso's. Felt great in my hands and the slide to frame fit was amazingly tight and felt solid. Now if only my PD will hurry the hell up and give me my permit... Can't wait to break her in!

lets hope that permit clears soon lol. good to meet you bro

would you happen to know if I can pick this up directly from their warehouse in east rutherford? Just saw their website and it looks really promising

Great to meet you David. Very smooth sale!

Is that similar to slip2k grease?

Yea I was thinking maybe slip2000 weapon grease too. Saw that on amazon last night for around 13 bucks

Hmm I think I have some mobil1 synthetic laying around in the garage. Maybe ill give that a shot. Thanks harry

I have Eezox and ballistol that I use on everything at the moment. What do you guys use on your 1911's? So many mixed opinions on lube...

I agree with digz... Glad she at least got more money for it than a $50 safeway giftcard. The buy back program rips people off more than anything. I saw loads of 1911s in some of those pictures that fetched $100

Lecky how much did you pay for it? I'm in the market for a 1911 myself and it's between this kimber or a springfield armory

I use Winchester M22's and so far it's been flawless. Dicks in paramus has them in stock if you want to give them a shot. Federal bulk packs are really hard to come by.
