I've got the 1911 bug again

[RetiredSeabee]

Okay clovishound, I will try to talk you out of buying it.
Nope sorry can't do it. You need this gun like the flowers need the rain.
Hmm... there's a country song in there somewhere.

[clovishound]

I have a Springfield Armory Compact Range Officer that is less than a year old. I now want something like the EMP with a SS slide and the rosewood grips on the regular flat black (parkerized) finish. Love the look of that.

Out of curiosity, what is the asking price of the used one? I've never sold one of my pistols as they are all less than a year old. But I have been toying with the idea of possibly selling mine for something different. It's had less than 100 rounds through it and is in perfect condition.

They are asking $659. They usually have some wiggle room. I'm tempted to offer them $600.

I ended up having to spend a little more than planned the last couple days. Makes me a little more nervous.

Darn cars.

I never really thought America was country.

I could be wrong.

Every song is country if you sing it right.

If you sing it right, it definitely won't be country.

In other news, I went by the LGS to take a second look.

It's been sold.

[RetiredSeabee]

Bummer, now you gotta sing the "I lost out on a 1911 blues".

[clovishound]

Didn't the Allman Brothers have something to say about that?

"I woke up this morning, had them 1911 Blues.
Well, I looked over in the corner baby, and Grandpa seemed to have them too."

[Bugs]

I'll talk you out of it. Save up some more money and buy a Les Baer. My Baer's are the only 1911's I felt compelled to keep.

If that's the case that's kind of nice to know. At least they aren't depreciating very much.

I'm not trying to sell mine but when you are ready to "pull the trigger" let me know if you would be interested. Here's mine.
