Went to a gun show today in Wind Gap PA. Lo and behold a large dealer there had an SR1911 in the case. I was surprised that it looked as 'brushed' as it did. I thought that the stainless would be more silver, but it actually had a bronzish tint and had quite a rough brushed finish. It was quite nice looking ... a totally different look than I expected.
He had it listed at $635 ($100 over dealer cost) and said that he had 8 of them. He said that there had been no interest in it at all up to that point, and the show was 4 hours old at the time. We talked awhile and he mentioned that after all the hoopla died down, that he'd be selling them for $580.
I handled it a bit .... it was nice .... and then I came to the conclusion that I already knew .... it was just another 1911 .... and I don't really need another 45ACP 1911.
My fever for the SR1911 has now ebbed to the point of almost non-interest after actually seeing one in person. It's a great looking gun ... but the bottom line is ... I just don't need a 13th 45ACP 1911.
If anybody wants the name of the gun shop PM me and I'll let you know.
My buddy did pick up a LNIB CZ75B polycoat with two mags and original box and paperwork for $375, so it was a good show for him. We shot it right afterward and the first 5 shots I shot went into a group about as big as a golf ball at 50 feet .... yup .... it's a CZ all right.
