The winner is Donald P. from Abington, Virginia.

He is better know on the forum as coltfan3000.

Who wouldn't- same gun only new, 1K rounds to boot! The only difference is the test gun holds a record.
THAT and $1 gets you a standard cup of coffee- take the fancy gun with the ammo.
PLUS he's lucky he gets to talk to Marshal'ette- how cool is that?

He said that he will post as soon as he catches his breath and gets some of the details worked out. Plus I think he is on the road working right now..
But I am sure he will get in here before long to brag and rub it in.
He sure is excited and proud.. But why wouldn't you be? I would have traded Marshal in, if I could have it... , but they would have had to throw in some more ammo. LOL

Got to go.. he is ready to go play some slots!  :) Bye..

I would like to thank everyone at Downrange Television, Michael Bane, the Holloway's, Todd Jarrett, and Pare Ordnance for this prize package.  For the past several days, I have been in shock and disbelief.  I have never won anything and I am near 40 years old not even a scratch off lottery ticket.  So I come home late from work on Monday night and checked my messages to find Michael and Todd calling me from the Shot Show.  I thought at first it was a joke, but then it sunk in that I did win. This package will be greatly appreciated as I stated in some of my earlier posts on the forum that in late 2007 I had a number of calamities that took all of my funds for firearms purchases for household expenses like plumbing issues, higher property taxes, and roofing repairs.  Therefore, this will be my first gun in a very long time since I bought my house.  Sold the entire collection to boost my down payment on this house.  There are some days that I wish I hadn't done that, but hindsight is always 20/20.  Thank you for all the congratulations replies in this thread as well.  I will post pictures of the pistol when I receive it.  I elected to take the option number two package with the new in box signature 45, the 10 45 ACP magazines, and the thousand rounds of ammunition. I am very happy about this. This has made my day; correction, my year.
