Been about 6 weeks since our last venture to the big city and groceries were getting pretty scarce around these parts, so yesterday I fired up the truck and made the trip north. I had to get some stuff in town that wouldn't fit in the suburban, and the wife does't like riding in my smelly diesel truck all day, nor does she like icy roads so I went by myself.
Had some time to burn between making my last stop before I had to meet up with someone, so I hit up the gun shops. I was kind of in the market for a new carry gun and they had NIB Gen 3 Glock 19s on the shelf for $419 out the door with a holster so I grabbed one. Of course, I got delayed on the paperwork, so I went and did my pick ups while waiting for it to come through. Get the call to come pick up the glock, and when I get there they were just putting a used Ruger SR1911 10mm in the rack. They said it was used, but it looks unfired and still had the box, papers and all that good stuff and the cold thread on the trigger guard. Im handling it and telling the owner of the shop how much I had been wanting one of those, and he says "Well, I'll let you have that one for $600 if you take it today. Needless to say at half the cost of a new one it didn't take much twisting my arm and I brought it home as well.
The glock is a glock. Not much to say, it goes bang when you pull the trigger.
The Ruger though is a real dandy. Beautiful trigger and shoots as good as I can hold it. Very nice adjustable target sights on it and really just set up exactly the way I like a 1911 to be set up.
