Suppressors my new side arm...

[72fj40]

Just picked up my first 1911 .45 ACP. I have had the itch for one for quite a while. It flared up again around last Thanksgiving when talking with my Bro-in-law who had just purchased a Wilson Combat. Since then, I have looked around, handled many of them...None of them really felt "right"...I ended up going in to an old local hole in the wall gun shop and wouldn't you know it, a nice Wilson Combat CQB. One of the first WC because the serial # is below 40. Great shape and the shop had had it for about a year and I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. In all the paperwork, I found the original receipt with the previous owner's number. Called him today and said he had fired an average of about 700 rounds. Not bad for my first 1911. What do y'all think? Can't wait to take it out...

Looks great. I'm sure it will be a shooter too. Can't go wrong with Wilson. Enjoy.

Awww man you are so screwed!

1911's are addicting. And like good glass: once have the premium stuff, you won't go back. Start saving.

I know!!! The crazy thing is that I'm already looking for a 4" WC CCW!I've heard that the only way to beat a 1911 addiction is to go broke! I hear what you are saying about the glass too...I went from burris optics to one mk4 and one Nightforce...i just have to keep telling myself, "this is the last time...this is the last one..."

The shop had a price of $1900 on it at first. I went back several times and drooled on it and I guess the store owner felt sorry for me so we started dealing...I ended up swapping one of my M700 5r's and $600 cash for it...

Very nice. I have the CQB compact in the same color scheme. It has been a great pistol.

1911 has to be one of my favorite handguns next to my 44mag.
