Default New to me!!

I've been looking for a while now for a 1911 that I liked. Anyway to make a long story short I bought it from my brother in-law. Last week he wouldn't sell it, So I went Friday and bought a SA XDM 40 This morning he called and asked if I wanted it. This is the Sig 45.Thanks Jacksonco and Bruce Flinch for all the help! JUNK

Me too wooleyworm, I have looked for weeks bugging Jacksonco and Bruce Flinch on what to look for and what not. Of all the guns I held this one seemed like it was made for me. I just wished he wouls have wanted to sell it Friday then I wouldn't have the XDM 40 too.

I think you did very well on your choices. I really like the Sig 1911. I have one in a two tone model TTT. It is a very good weapon and I have sent it to safe queen duties for the most part but it gets shot as regulary as my Colt Commander.

As for the XDm 40 cal, well Ive only have one 40 cal in my safe, a BHP, but may have to add another soon. Yours looks nice. And as far as getting stuck with 2 guns you are a lucky man.

That is a nice looking 1911. Have you had an opportunity to bring it to the range yet?
