    Xmas present to myself

    Today I just picked up my new Springfield 1911 Loaded stainless. Man, this thing is gorgeous. I can't wait to take it out for a test drive. I bought a couple boxes of American Eagle range type ammo and they are huge by comparison to the 9mm I've been shooting. I'm pretty new to shooting but I'm getting addicted to this stuff. I just had to have a bigger cal gun and the 1911 was my first choice. Next week I'll hit the range with the 1911. So, far I'm a lousy shot but getting better every time I go out. Think I made a good choice?

          I had to send mine back to SA twice to fix issues, but now it's my fav 9mm.

                I have the same gun. Absolutely love it.

                They're not liberals, they're leftists. Please don't use the former for the latter. Liberals are Locke, Jefferson, Burke, Hayek. Leftists are progressives, Prussian state-socialists, fascists. Liberals stand against the state and unequivocally support liberty. Leftists support state tyranny.
