buy a 9mm first. then save up for a real nice possible custom 1911. 9mm is cheap and easy to shoot and ammo is everywhere. Trust me you will be hooked and want another gun. That is when you buy that custom 1911. For 9mm look into Glock, XD, and Smith & Wesson M&P. I preferred the M&P. I have a Sig 226 all stainless in .40 as my home protection weapon. But I must admit I am more accurate over time with the 9mm. That is not saying if you come in my house you wont get blown away but the grouping on my M&P is better. I wish for a 1911 but i am going to have to wait as I want a Wilson Combat.

Good luck on finding that SR1911. They are in short supply around here. Personally I'd get the Ruger if you can find it as I'm on the waiting list here. If not go with a SIG 220 carry in 45. That gun is as reliable as they come.

Have you tried Jims? heard he has good prices. just have to go behind his house to get to his shop.

I'm looking and have time to wait so the rugar is what I'll end up with. If I can find a place to shoot one and enjoy it. I'm going to hit up WT's hopefully later this week to try some different guns out. hopefully he has at least a 1911 to fire.

If you go to JR's in smithfield you might actually be the guy that told me about jim. Area you on his list for a rugar sr1911? just wondering what kind of deal he has on it. cheapest online was 619 on a credit card shipped to a dealer.

WT's in on 70 heading towards goldsboro after you pass the walmart at 581 it's probably another .5 mile.
