Finally, The One I Really Wanted!!

[Bladerunner]

I finally did it! After several trips to my local gun shop (and a couple of purchases), I finally closed my eyes and bought the one handgun that I plain and simply "WANTED". A brand spanking new, Springfield Armory MilSpec Model 1911-A1 in .45 caliber, all in beautifully polished stainless steel with wooden checkered grips. The gun came with a polymer dual magazine holder and holster and an extra set of plain black grips (no logo). Man does this thing pop! BTW, does anyone out there know anything about slide engraving as in appx. how much light scroll work and four words might cost? I don't expect an exact price but it would be great if someone could give me an idea of what to expect. Anyway, just needed to shout about the latest addition to my gun safe. She's not the easiest CC in the stable but she barks like a big dawg and I suspect that her bite is a lot worst than her bark! I have to go now. My wife is waiting to kick my @%R# over this purchase. Worth every minute.

I've got the same thing and love it. It carries nice on the hip both high and low and makes you feel good. I put a set of "Pachmayr Signature Grips 1911 with Finger Grooves Government, Commander Rubber Black" from Midway. While I like the wood grips, the Pachmayr rubber with finger grooves fit's my hand sooooo well. Enjoy.

I picked one up about a month ago and I love it. Not a fan of the holster and mag holder it came with but oh well.

CONGRATS!

Congrats. That's my daily carry, except mine's parkerized.

It doesn't bark LIKE the big dawg though, it IS the big dawg.

I'd get SS Loaded instead(because I just got one myself), but otherwise Milspec is an excellent deal!
