I will eventually get my grubs on one. I lost count of how may guns I have bought since the first of Jan. I have 8 that haven't made it here yet including this one.

Springfield Armory stainless 1911 Loaded 45 acp
Colt stainless 1911 Competition 45 acp
Will be especially interested in how these two do when you wring them out on the range. I am a fan of the 1911s. 8-)
Little brother has a Springfield Loaded. Its the reason I bought one. Probably be three weeks before I get mine. The Colt had to be special ordered. Lord only knows when that will come in. It could be months. Reviews look promising. I did a comparison video on a MAC ACII and a S&W E-Series last year. Might do another with these two. The Colt might be a better comparison with the new Springfield Garrison. I have a brand new Kimber Stainless II here as well I could use that's in 10mm.

These are the 3 other full size 1911 models I have here. I have a pair of the ACIIs, had a pair of the Kimbers but little brother clepto'd one of them. He had always wanted a Kimber 10mm. Had his eye on a Rapide but the price is just a little out of range at $1600.

Husqvarna made/makes some mighty fine dirt bikes also. Now that Husky pictured above, looks like a kicker! Very neat shotgun.

Speaking of which: I've been looking at CZ Bobwhites, but, won't pay the price fom Gunbroker, the only place I've found them available. Turned my attention to those Stoeger Uplander 20ga with 26/28" barrels. Those look good to me and reviews are positive. Have a couple places fairly close I can get my hands on one to check. Fingers crossed here.

I got that Stoeger coach a while back. I have been a busy boy with lots of projects going on. I still haven’t shot it yet but my range is ready for action and the weather is clearing up a bit. Soon.. I’ll update with pictures and review.

Probably spend some time this weekend creating new threads and updating some old ones. I bought close to $20k in guns in the last 4 months and a lot of them are probably of interest to the Henry crowd, including a 1911 review that went on like a runaway train (5 from Kimber and 5 from Springfield Armory). Yes, I spent $10k just on that review. Some guns I bought, like two Cimarron Bad Boys and a Stoeger Condor Supreme are still coming in.

I've had Stoeger Coach guns and CZ Coach Guns (Huglu) Stoeger without hammers. The CZ with Hammers. For me I much prefer the Coach Guns without external hammers. Love the CZ Sharptail.

I only own two doubles, both 12 ga., the first is an old Beretta OU hammerless.
The other is an old J Stevens sxs, with exposed hammers.
Have hunted and killed pheasant with both.
