I spent 900 of 'em. A little steep I reckon, but it was exactly what I was looking for and in stock. In stock counts for a lot these days. heh.

Very sharp pistola I am jealous.
I am sure it was unloaded for your pics, however I did notice it was cocked and UNLOCKED in the second picture. Not picking on ya, it's just one of those things that I practice and preach all the time. Be safe and enjoy that beauty.

You're right.

I had just stripped, cleaned the shipping oil off, and re-assembled her. It's been about 5 years since I regularly handled a 1911. Everything I've been shooting for the last 5 years hasn't had a safety. That's why I have barely put her down since I brought her home. Getting use to the feel again.
You're also right in that it was unloaded. In fact, I don't even HAVE any ammo for her yet.

I keep all my 1911 locked.. more to make sure the gun is secure then the ammo issue.. its just a good habbit for me... we all do things differnt. Just like you cannot clean it when the slide is locked.. when not in use.. I lock the slide.. but again... just me.

I almost bought one of these instead of my Kimber. Keep us updated on how she performs.
