Default Re: First Firearm Thread.

Guys, I am getting very close to pulling the trigger on buying my first 1911 handgun. I have researched and think I am pretty close to identifying what I need. I want a Colt 1911, although I'm a bit unsure still about the exact model. I've read every thread here possible and in magazines, on the 1911 forum, etc. I may have actually read too much as it gets confusing after awhile. Anyway, my first 1911 I want to be a Colt. My question to this group is do you all have any recommendations on how to buy one? Since they seem to be so very hard to find, at least a new in the box full size model, which is what I want. Is ordering from a local gun dealer my only option and then waiting? Any thoughts on the current market and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Steve
