Happiness is a new gun 2

Must be tough to be 50..........

Ain't that the truth.

My latest 1911
I've got some Wilson Combat mags and a case of 45 ammo inbound.
I'll tell you how happy I am after I get to the range ...

Congrats Barth, that is one more beautiful pistol, enjoy!!!

Thanks, I appreciate it

Nice looking pistol. Almost looks like a half cock on that hammer. Didn't know any could do that, must be so.

Nice.
Be advised, the Sig Profile 1911's will not work in may holsters. I used own a Sig CCO, and adapted a leather holster to fit the profile. I know you like ballistic nylon so should flex enough to work.

Looks good Barth. Let us know how it functions. I have been looking at those for awhile.

Thanks for the tip!
You know me well, I like generic ballistic nylon OWB pancake style holsters.
Specifically, Crossfire Traverse.
I have a bunch in various sizes and really love them (sans the speed retainer).

Absolutely, I've read mixed reviews but mostly positive.
There are reports of recoil spring plug issues (stress fractures), but I've got a spare from Numrich inbound along with three new recoil springs from Sig.
Plus, a case of PMC Bronze 230 gr on the way.
My preferred carry 45 ACP ammo is Winchester Ranger T-Series 230 and Federal HST 230 (both in standard pressure).
I'll clean and lube the gun.
Then run 200 FMJs followed by 50 Rangers and 50 HSTs

As usual, I'll ride it hard and put it away wet - LOL!

Okay....was at Ahlman's gun shop today and they have a nice used Kahr CW45 for $299 with 1 mag. Is that a good deal?
