Well, after listening to the reports and thinking about "personalizing" one of these, I ordered one from Bud's Gun Shop for $479.99... plus 3% surcharge for credit card and $25 shipping... $519.39. I will pay the FFL dealer $20 for the paper work and since there's no tax... I'm out the door at $539.39.
I'm looking forward to doing some "bling" work on the gun... I've decided that the real attraction of the 1911 is that most any idiot can break them down to the frame (remember these were designed to be maintained by a GI in a foxhole).
I'll be looking forward to next weekend to see if I've got as good a one as those of you who have written about.
