Nothing beats a Colt.


That's what we're talking about. The guy I'm buying from has a bunch for sale. I'm trying to decide
which I'm going to buy. I know it's not going to be a $3000 commemorative.

They sound expensive. I guess I haven't bought one for a while.

I only paid $350 for a SS Ruger KP90. It doesn't have the 1911 feel
but it shoots tighter than my hardball and is D/A.

The prices shown are higher than I will pay for the pistol. Those are the 'advertised' prices. I
expect to pay about half for whichever one I choose.

$400 is reasonable for a 1911 in good condition.
Rock on

Well, there's still the 'manhood' question our nameless friend brought up, but I reckon I've
qualified with the damn things enough to answer that one!

I'll keep you posted. Will be talking to the guy tonight.

CZ 97B if you are man enough.

I've qualified with the M1911A1 about a dozen times. You reckon the CZ 97B requires more of a man?
How many times have you qualified with a .45, Harry?

I'm just a range shooter, John. I've never shot any Vietnamese people.
I've found the CZ's to be more accurate in 9mm and .45 ACP than the run
of the mill 1911's.

Yup, you're just a range shooter.

Sorry.

Now, goodbye for a while. You're still WATOABH. (Ask a farmer.)

There's nothing wrong with .45ACP, but it is kind of expensive to shoot.

guys carry



Nice handgun. Large and heavy, though.
