June 10, 201511 yr I have one more permit to burn. My heart was set on a Shield in 9mm, but it dawned on me that I already have a couple of compact 9's that I can't actually carry here. So I was at a local shop yesterday and these two guns caught my eye. Let me know what I should get next from the choices. Or something awesome I may have overlooked. Just don't tell me to get a Glock. Life is too short for ugly guns.
June 10, 201511 yr That model 60 looks nice. Im on a revolver kick right now. Ruger alaskans are nice in 44mag or 464 casull, How about a Ruger GP100 or a SW 686? Ruger SP101s are nice.
June 10, 201511 yr I was just at RTSP looking at a S&W 686+ 3-5-7 Talo 3". Moonclip cut cylinder. Man that thing is nice. But out of your 2 choices I would go with the Ruger 1911. Where you shopping?
June 10, 201511 yr Author I have a 586 which is a blue 686. I should have mentioned I'd like to stay with .45 ACP or .38/.357. But I might consider .45 Colt since I have a lever gun chambered in that. Ruger Redhawk is nice, but spendy.

Were you shopping? I was at Simon Peter yesterday drooling, er browsing. But that's the other thing, I have 2 1911's, which I absolutely love. My justification is that I don't have a stainless commander length. yet. the 60 just felt awesome, amazing trigger and craftsmanship, but cost just a few bucks less than the 586.
June 10, 201511 yr Author Stainless CZ 75 or 85 in 45. They make them in .45? I did not know that. I like my CZ in 9 mm
June 10, 201511 yr Author In 45acp, why not a Sig P227 or P220? Those are pretty sweet... I'm hoping to get a .45 conversion for my p320. But yeah, I like the Sigs.
June 11, 201511 yr I have the ruger 1911 and its a sweet shooter. For some reason I love the way it looks too.
June 11, 201511 yr The Ruger SR1911 is beautiful. If I could justify getting another semi, it would be the one. Solid, heavy construction and just stunning.
June 15, 201511 yr Author Stainless CZ 75 or 85 in 45. the .45 version is the CZ 97b. And I must have one now. Well, with the next batch of permits. But I'm leaning towards the Smith this time around.
July 2, 201511 yr Author thanks for all the replies and suggestions. today I left a deposit on the Smith, and i'll be picking it up on the 15th. Stay tuned...
