Damn that's a good price for the tactical. I paid 500 for mine 2 years back. I've got no complaints about the gun other then the park job is just standard. I may get it cerakoted eventually

Enjoy it - best 1911 for the price hands down. Heck, best one for almost twice the price. I changed out grips on mine, stock ones are pretty thick

Congrats!

For that price I could. I refuse to get a MD HQL, so no more handguns for me until I am out of the state.

So I have a SA Loaded 1911 to rehabilitate, re-barrel, probably cerakote. Same for a Kimber in desperate need of a barrel.

Anyway I think RIA new stock has a smaller roll mark, but nothing a little spray paint wouldn't fix.

Time to move ! (that was my home state, and now, I don't even like dis-arming to come down and visit my parents !)

Me too. Moved to PA about a year and a half ago. I still work in MD. I hate heading south on 83

The roads suck, what the hell is a school tax?, what do you mean I can't buy beer in a convenience store, etc.

You know what though - I love it here. By far a friendlier group of people than I encountered in 40+ years in Maryland and you can almost smell the freedom once you pass the 439 exit in Maryland heading north. Now if we can just jettison Philly.....
