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 |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
You can always buy one online and have them ship it to a local FFL, the local FFL will charge a small fee for the service but it may save you some money if you can find a good deal online.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
As far as which one to get.... really depends on what you want it for. Target? Conceal? Who cares? I ask only for the purpose of frame size differences. I recently bought a Colt 1911 Lightweight New Agent Model 90 which is, IMO, great for carry but not great for target shooting. Only having a trench site makes target shooting past a certain yardage not so great.
I've used gunbroker.com for a few firearms and once for something else that I was not satified with in the end. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Thanks for the advice guys. I really want it for enough target shooting to get good at it and limited conceal carry. I'm a big guy and not too worried about the size/weight. Thanks for the info on the lightweight models as I hadn't thought of that. I am leaning towards the Gold Cup but haven't done a great deal of searching the internet but it seems when I do everything Colt is out of stock. I was expecting a very hard time finding a reputable on-line dealer that had some decent inventory to choose from. I'll try the website and thanks for the one to stay away from. I've visited them before! Steve

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Try and not pay more than $20 for a transfer man. Down here theres some shops doing transfers for $50+, which is ridiculous. Others, like the one I use, do the transfers for $15 + $5 background. Although if I have my CWP shouldnt the background be waived...?

Suck It

Re: First Firearm Thread.
If there's no FIRE, does it still count? I have been plinking squirrels out of my upstairs window for 4 years with
a little Crossman pump pellet gun. Killed ONE squirrel, one starling, and scared dozens more with 100's of rounds expended and thousands of pumps. It was something to do and it kept the pecans ON the tree and the dog food IN the bowls. Yesterday got a Beeman 1073 break-barrel pellet gun and in two hours this morning nailed 6 Starlings. I guess it's all about the accuracy, lol. When I would miss, the dog bowl would go DONGGGG!!! Really loud. Ironically some of my kills seem to have been riccochets 1/2 inch below the bird right at the bowl rim and I got the DONNNG and the kill. |
