Bought My 2nd Hand Gun This Week
Bought My 2nd Hand Gun This Week
Since we had so much fun with our trips to the gun shops earlier in the week, me and a buddy went to a couple gun shops again today. On Tuesday he found a Smith and Wesson Custom Shop 1911 that he really had to have for his collection. At $1400 it was a little bit out of my range. On Wednesday I picked up the Nagant. Today I found this and had to bring it home with me. I have wanted one of these since they were first released.
This is my first 1911, but I can already tell you there will be more. Just not until I get my new safe, I am busting at the seams with firearms needing a safe place to sleep. Anyone else have the Ruger SR1911? I cant wait to get this to the range and put a couple rounds through it.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Nice! Ive been drooling over these since they came out 
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Nice!
You can't go wrong with a Ruger, and you certainly can't go wrong with a 1911!

I recently completed the required firearms training for concealed carry in this state. A good friend of mine and coworker shot one of these next to me at the range for qualification. I got a chance to put a couple of clips through the pistol and was very impressed with the fit, finish and practical accuracy of this .45.
The local gun shop is having a Ruger-sponsored sale on all things Ruger next weekend. Last time they did this, they sold over 1000 guns in a two-day period. This may be a small town, but it is big on gun ownership. Maybe I'll see what price they have on these at the sale.

very nice 
Re: Bought My 2nd Hand Gun This Week
I think I have a new favorite handgun. I put 100 rounds through it today and it's a heck of a lot more accurate than I am. This is the first two magazines, 15 rounds, at about 15 yards. I only had 1 flier. But in general I tend to pull left with it. I think after I shoot it a little more I can pull them back into the center. I give the SR1911 two thumbs up

Re: Bought My 2nd Hand Gun This Week
Love my SR1911... I am finding the same as you, it shoots better than I am capable of. The more I use it, the tighter the groups get
Re: Bought My 2nd Hand Gun This Week
Great fit and finish, tend to be quite a bit snappier than most 1911s that ive shot, and that is quite a few. Just sent a sr1911 in for repairs for bad feeding issues non magazine related, so keep an eye out for that. Nice thing is you call Ruger and they email you a shipping label for overnight to the service facility in Arizona

Enjoy that .45
