High line 1911 .45

[Legasat]

I pick a new SS Dan Wesson PM-7 this Wednesday, and I am really looking forward to it. But was only a little over $1k.

If it was me looking in your price range, I would be looking at Les Baer or Ed Brown...

Glad your won your case, Bill! Congrats!

Sooo...what's next after the 1911? The M1 Garand? A tacticool AR-15?

I'll live vicariously thru your next purchases.

Btw, do take Rich (Black Majik) up on his Les Baer offer. After shooting his, I ended up w/ one as well.

Per the atty.'s secretary, he and the county counsel are working out how much each of will get in a retroactive check and how much our monthly pension check will go up, so I really don't know how much I'm getting.

Hopefully, a really nice 1911 like discussed here, a M1 Garand, a M1 Carbine, perhaps a gas piston Ar or just a better grade of AR than I just bought and few thousand rounds of AR and 7.62x39 ammo. I'll have to get a decent optic for the new and present AR also of course.

I do intend to take him up on his offer Bam Bam. Vicariously living is okay, but I'd let you watch me shoot them if you want to. Can't get more vicarious than that. Nah, I'd let you shoot them.

I got my Les Baer TRS last month from Rancho Cordova Shooting Center ( near Sacramento) for $1800, they got that in stock.

I really liked the feel of the grip, so whatever pistol I buy will have that. It will also have the ambi safety and I'm leaning toward the adjustable sights, but not sure. What I'd really like would be the TruGlo TFO sights like I have on my XDSC, due to my old eyes, but that probably wouldn't look real cool on a 1911. Any opinions on that.

If you want checkering and adjustable sights, the Les Baer Premier II would fit that bill and are under $2k. If you don't want checkering, get the Concept I, which is slightly less expensive than the Premier. As for things like ambi safeties, those can always be added later for not much money.

Adding checkering is expensive, getting an external extractor can't be done without buying a new slide, and beavertails and skeletonized hammers should be installed and tuned by a gunsmith, so these features should be bought with the gun. Safeties, guide rods, sights, etc are either drop-in or are inexpensive to install, so worry about those later.

ive been looking at alot of various 1911's, got to fondle a few at the del mar show this last weekend, im seriously leaning towards a SA long slide if i can find anyone that carries it. anyone have any suggestions on a good shop in LA/OC that carries a huge selection of 45's ?

i was going to go check out the grant boys, since they are registered as a SA dealer http://www.gunshopfinder.com/bytownresults.asp?ID=4179
