    It must be a 1911 bug.

    Through my long shooting years, I have bought and sold several 1911 type pistols. The one that I kept the longest is the one I bought new in 1981, a Colt Government Model. Since that time, many were bought and sold.

    Earlier this year, I decided to sell most of 1911's. So, by the early fall this year, I had only 2 left, the original Colt I had since 1981 and another Colt bullseye pistol I bought last year from another Calgunner.

    Now, when I look inside of my safe, I have five 1911's all of sudden and one at the Turners to be picked up in 6 days. How in the world that happened? When I think about it, I bought 2 off brand 1911's from the guys I work with couple of months ago, a Colt Gold Cup from a retired LEO friend last month, and a Springfield from a Calgunner couple of days ago. Now I will have six 1911's in a few days. I cannot imagine how it works out. My problem is that when I see good deals on these guns, I cannot resist. It is a kind sickness I guess. I need a cure.

    I should stop buying these guns.

          No matter how many Glocks, Sigs and revolvers, it's always the 1911 I gravitate to when it comes to target shooting, competition shooting and primary defensive pistol.

            I don't know how many times I have said it, but I said again this time after I bought this pistol: "I am not buying any more guns!." Maybe I should keep my own words.

                  Buy a Jeep

                  I dunno, I've never been much for guns. I mean, sure, we have the usual gun by the door, another near the TV, one in the kitchen, and another in the bedroom...and several others laying around. For the most part though, we keep our home free of guns. We are peace loving folks.

                        I didn't know they can do that. Now I started believing it.

                            topgun,

                            You should be lauded for what you have done, for you are doing you fair share of helping our ailing economy

                            Now, not to be outdone either, I am also looking for a good price on the 1911's. I've been tossing and turning at night ----- about how I can do my share too in helping our economy
