    What was I thinking????

    Waited ten years to have Jim Hoag make me a replacement longslide on a Gold Cup series 70 gun to replace one he made for me in the 1980s --







    Then I sold the damn thing!

    I can honestly think of no good reason you could have sold that. That's a damn fine pistol.

        I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one, what were you thinking...

              $1500 plus the gun I supplied. Why did I sell it? Because I like to buy tons of guns -- more than I could ever own at one time. I was in a :get rid of all my 1911s" phase. You guys have a board here fro selling stuff? What are you guys looking for? I have been called a "bulimic collector."

                      On second thought I would have kept the Pigs

                        His guns look and work real well. He learned alot working at Kings.
                        I move slow but I make up for it by shooting poorly.

                        When I hit the lotto I'm only shooting factory.

                            Indeed that should have been a keeper. I just started again with my 1911 buying frenzy and I have a long list of 1911's that I must have before 2009. So far I have 4 down and 6 more to go. I will never, ever, ever sell any of the guns that I own. I just don't want to feel like the OP..

                              My condolences. I've done worse. 20/20 is always hindsight.
