    Springfield Loaded. I'm an idiot. I'm done.

    Hey! Did you hear the new Ammo Bros store is now open in Santa Ana?
    The wife dragged me down there to check it out. I wasn't actually shopping and now I'm waiting.....
    Dang Nabbit......

      Good choice. The 1911 loaded is a great pistol.

        I've been hankerin for a 1911 since my wife got her Rock 9mm. I was kinda looking at Kimbers and blued Colts. There was a pretty good sale price on this lil piece of sunshine and I was sunk. Too many people in there, so I paid for it and will go back and start jail time during the week. Now I've got time to figure out my stainless cleaning techniques....

          The wife dragged you to a gun shop? Either you have a great wife, or she needs a better husband!

              Oh, she is a keeper for sure.

              It's a .45.

              I was kinda peeking for a 9mm because the wife's is so dang fun, but I just couldn't pass this one up. (.45 guy at heart.)

              Honestly, I wasn't really looking to buy one right now. This definitely kills my fun budget for the foreseeable future. The main thing is that it tops my wishlist for that said future also. So, I'm done. I'm good, but I'm done.

                    Definitely a nice pick up! Congrats!

                    I usually say I'm done right after adding another piece to my expanding collection. Then I come across something else that tickles my fancy. It's a disease!

                        Just clean the internals, lube as normal and wipe down the exterior. Stainless is very low maintenance.

                          Welcome to the club! I bought this one 15 years ago, it has the old style anonymous grips.
