    My Tax return didn't last till Louisville........ New Toy

    Walked into the military shop that I frequent all the time on Thursday and he handed me this:


    IMG_0621.jpg

    Colt Model 1911 US ARMY Serial Number 19352. This one manufactured in 1913, reworked either between the wars or at the start of ww2 because it has the correct Colt wood 1911A1 grips. Frame and slide appear to match with lots of WW1 parts on it. about 98% ww2 parkerizing remains. SON OF A BITCH I thought. Especially when I saw the price tag: $950 and included 3 WW2 mags. (2 R marked and 1 S marked) It cut my "Show of Shows" funds in half, BUT This pistol was just too damn nice to pass up.

    What do you boys think??

    Yes you are right Tim. Being Single with a killer job, truck that is paid for, and small rent payment does have its perks. My spending would be worse if I still lived at home with Mom and Dad. This will all change as I start house shopping in June/July.

    Tax returns are something that young people get that us old people pay for.

    No disrespect, JBass. You scored big! Nice pistol!
