Awesome present!

I get underwear for Christmas.
Since I started reloading and casting about six years ago I don't think I've bought myself any underwear or t-shirts. Every dime goes to the next mold, lead or whatever I need. Good thing I had a drawer full back then. Still, I'm getting threadbare enough to be happy if I got a package of t-shirts and underwear. Instead I asked for some paper for paperpatching, and some 405 cases to reform for a 40-63. Got to keep your priorities straight:-)

True Story!

thanks all and yes i do have a good Mom. just wish she was in better health

That Ruger is a lifetime keeper. Your Mom deserves a gold star for that one.

Welcome to the club. The flatness, ergonomics, powerful yet controllable cartridge,
reliability, ability for a fine trigger, excellent safety when carried in Condition One
and durability all add up to a fine tool.

That is a mighty fine looking pistol. I love that they didn't put those asinine forward serrations on the slide. Ruger is quickly moving up on my list of 1911 pistols to buy (you have more than one). I it an all steel frame?

You are or will shortly be hopelessly hooked by the 1911.....congrats......let us know how she runs!

Been playing with my first 1911. Yea, you'll be hooked now. It seems they can be finicky, vs a revolver, as far as cartridge is concerned, but once you get it down they love to eat cast boolits.

Nice gift every house hold should have at least one 1911. Shoot straight and enjoy it's just begging for some 200 grain SWC.

Sweet looking pistola! I love my 5" Kimber. Congrats!

[Scharfschuetze]

John Browning really got the 1911 RIGHT! Definitely my favorite semi-auto handgun. The Rugers that I looked at in the LGS, seemed to be pretty solid handguns. Give your Mom an "At 'a Gal" for us.

Looks great! I used to be a Glock fan, but I throw rocks at them now!

[LUCKYDAWG13]

thank you all
