As I mentioned, the rifle was pretty much an after thought. I was checking out 1911's. I really like the Kimber Stainless II I picked up a couple of months back. A friend of mine has several Springfield 1911 Models, and they are really nice pistols. I guess you could say I've been bitten by the 1911 bug.
They've come a long way since I bought my first Colt Gold Cup way back in 1973. They still are the same basic gun, but they've really improved on the features. There is something to be said about picking up a pistol that fills your hand with solid steel. I love my Glocks, but the 1911 just never seems to go out of style. Bill T.
