    Well since my bday and christmas both happen a few weeks apart I decided to celebrate with some new additions: Browning black label threaded .22 and a kimber KHX full size 9mm optic ready. I already got the ol' faithful full size kimber TLE RL II in 45 with a can so Im happy to have a wider range now.

    Same taste in fire arms. My RemRand, original finish but storage wear.

    The Ultra Carry II shoots amazingly well for such a light platform. Kimber did a fine job on this model, I was expecting more recoil.

    Do the new grips make my 1911 look fat?

    I have a Springfield Armory 1911 in 9MM, stainless steel that I need to sell. Any idea what it might be worth? It's practically brand new and has upgraded fiber optic sights. Thanks.

    Just looked at Springfield's site.


    You need to determine which model it is.

    Box will tell you. Side of the pistol should be marked.

    Then I check gun broker and Armslist.


    Go from there.

    That's about what I was thinking. Mine has the adjustable sight and upgraded fiber optic front sight.

    My father recently gave me my grandfather’s service weapon. It’s a .45 cal 1924 Colt 1911 from when he was in the National Guard.

    What do people think of the rock island 1911s? I’ve always wanted a 1911 but cannot justify or afford a $2k gun. And the ria seems like a decent compromise that I could upgrade over time.

    The Springfield will give you a good base to start with should you decide to head in the direction of a custom gun.
