How much did it run you? I want to get a 1911 eventually, but am having trouble deciding exactly which make and model to get.

Congrats - I promised myself a Stainless Custom II when I pass my CCNA exam. Don't know if you've heard, but Wolf has drastically improved the quality of their ammo recently, without raising the price. You can get 1000 rounds of .45ACP for $140 shipped at J&G Sales. I'm about halfway through my first case and it shoots flawlessly in my Springfield Mil-Spec.

Does it still have that red sealant that gets all over the place? I used to use it in my CZ and still use it in my AK. It jammed up the CZ pretty well if I was putting a couple of hundred rounds through it in a few hours. Not a problem after I switched to CCI Blazer, and never a problem with the Speer Lawman I carry.

Very nice gun.

I picked up a fullsize Para-Ordnance LDA single stack a couple months ago for $649. I'm really happy with it. I like the Kimbers also. Probably just get a Wilson though. I already own a Colt Officer's model with custom trigger, beavertail grip safety, night sights and a King's recoil spring guide rod kit. All the work done on my Colt was through King's Gun Works in Glendale.

Nice pistol.

Someday I need to get myself a nice 1911.
Darn rifles, why must you tempt me so?

There's just something inherently wrong with Smith & Wesson manufacturing a Colt pistol. :D

I picked up one of these about 3 weeks ago. Not too special until you look at the weight. Feels like a damn toy. Shoot decent too. Kicks like a mule.

Good choice on the Kimber. Great guns.

how about a shotgun? the rack of the shotgun should be enough to scare an intruder! plus bird shot is far less likely to go through walls. hehe but a glock 30 would be nice!

How old do you have to be to get a gun license in NY? I am interested in getting myself a gun for a shooting range, but haven't really looked into the laws.

If you want to own a gun, you should leave New York state... It's not a gun friendly environment. Look forward to a lot of expense and hassle.

Most states don't require a license to own a firearm. That's like requiring a license in order to speak your mind.
