I typically go to the range during the week, as it is much less crowded.  I have visited four times on Saturday, and have found it a very dangerous activity and highly advise against it.  On three of those four occasions I ended up making impulse gun purchases

 

This is what happened this Saturday:

 

 

 

Still hating you......lol

 

 

We need to shoot...... 

Now you know... and knowing is half the battle...

 

That's a very nice piece! I was looking at that the last time I was at RTSP but couldn't do it because of the $$$$$. Maybe one day...

Still hating you......lol

 

 

We need to shoot...... 

That sounds like fun, BUT not on a Saturday!!!!

Sorry to hear about your bad day. I would be willing to take it off your hands for a few bucks so you don't have to look at it and remember that awful day.

I fail to see how this is bad. :-)

Though I don't care much for the slide cutaway on that, it's a beautiful 1911. And those grips look awesome. How much did that run you?

howard, I got the same 1911 last month. Took it to the range a couple times and put a few hundred down the pipe already. It is by far my most accurate pistol!!! Enjoy yours, it will become your favorite handgun!!

Could've been worse, you could've bought a new lawnmower.  Congrats. Very nice pistol.

Cold Steel - thought I was going to have to do that a few minutes ago when the propulsion on my mower stopped working, but it was quick reconnect of a cable that came loose.

 

Cowboy - glad to hear you like it so much.  As I said this was just an impulse buy.  I really did not know anything about it.  Another guy was looking at it and I just said to myself wow that looks neat.  When he passed on it I asked to see it and the feel was just amazing.  So, I yanked out the well worn AmEx card.  The only bad thing is the stupid laws in NJ.  Thanks to our friend OGAM I can't even run nics till June 13, so the way nics are I don't think I will be able to take this baby home until after July 4th.

Howard, waiting that long stinks. I had waited 28 days for my "Instant" background check for this pistol. Hopefully yours is quicker. And if not, July 4th is a fitting day to take home such an American Beauty. 

Seems like a good day then, Congrats on the purchase hopefully you don't have to wait to long.
