Hang on - you're letting a stranger shoot my inheritance??? :shock:

:mrgreen:
Well, you keep coming up with excuses why we can't get together to shoot. You are apparently infected with the work virus and now you've spread it to me! :biggrinjester:

Check out the Dan Wesson lineup. The Heritage lists for about $1300 and the line runs up to a high of about $2000 before you start getting into "race guns".

If we can work out a day & time to get together, I'll let you fondle and shoot my V-Bob & Guardian. They're both bobtailed commanders, but the V-Bob has a forged stainless frame & the Guardian has a forged aluminum frame. The difference in recoil is very small.
Thank you for a very gracious offer, I would like to take you up on it someday. I am still in study mode trying to gain a better understanding of the 1911 model .45's and why they are so attractive to me. This thread and a few others have been most helpful in that regard, but ultimately I suspect nothing will replace the range tests.
Oh and Andy if it comes to pass, I promise I wont drool on your inheritence :mrgreen:
