New toys

diver-rig

Life has been good.


A month ago, I bought 2 Colt 1911’s off of The other side.


A nos 38 super Talo commander, and a 38 Super Blue Gold Cup National Match.


When I stopped in my LGS to have them send off their ffl, I saw this ‘85 Officers ACP peeking at me from the display case.

A Little wear on the outside, not sure it’s been shot very much.


Then, a couple weeks ago, fell in love with a Colt classic Nighthawk custom on the other side.


Picked it up from my LGS this past Monday, just as they were putting a double stack Rock Island 22 Tcm/9mm in the case. It came home with me.


Don't have a pic of it yet, but all 5 are flawless, and capable of better accuracy than I am, out back of the house on my range.


1911’s. The only pistols I’ve never had issues with, out of the box. No tuning needed, no tweeking, no return to the mothership.

Just an awesomely designed pistol, that has withstood the tests of time, and still has the best trigger, and natural pointability.


The Colt Hawk is my first venture into a higher level, semi custom. Wow!


Who else is taking advantage of this buying opportunity? Lol

    I’m watching this one on a local auction. It’s at $500 now and ends tomorrow. Still some wiggle room.

    Did they come with a spare mag?

    None of my new ones did, Colt stopped sending 2 mags back in ‘18 sometime.


    The talos 38 super commander came with 2, it was new old stock from 2014, I believe.


    Both, the Colt officer’s, and the rock island double stack, only came with one, they were both used in my lgs.

    But, I have plenty of single stack mags in all the common calibers. I have quite a few more 1911’s. The ones that come with the pistols from the factory usually end up staying in the box it came in, and I use others I’ve bought.

    It went for $580 plus tax and buyers premium. I wish I’d have went a little more.

    I just picked up a .22 caliber Glock 44, which is virtually identical to the Glock 19 but a helluva lot cheaper to shoot. This is a fun little plinker!
