I'm a happy camper!
I finally got two - well, umm, almost - matching weapons. I got my M1911 on sale for less than $800 (display model) and I couldn't be happier. I took it to the pistol range last month and am pleased to say that I haven't forgotten how to shoot my 45 since the Corps took them away in 1985. God I hated that Beretta; sorry guys, I have small hands.
I love my little Sterling for the same "simplicity" reason, even though it has it's flaws. I'm sure the 45 will not be giving me any problems.

Ain't that a kick! Twins, Schwarzenegger and Devito! You will be happy with the .45.

Re: I'm a happy camper!
Both are looking good!! I like the stainless, I just bought a Springfield last week and wanted the SS but my LGS didn't have any.

Re: I'm a happy camper!
I like the 1911, and the mouse gun is good for a backup.

Re: I'm a happy camper!
I've always wanted a hip cannon, I just got lucky finding this one!
I'm going to have to find an excuse to go shooting again this weekend. My .380 needs some work; it's hard to find good quality magazines for it anymore. I have 4 with weak springs and only one good one (the one in the picture). Thanks for the good words guys!

Re: I'm a happy camper!
Take the mags apart and replace the springs with Bersa thunder .380 mag springs.

Re: I'm a happy camper!
I was wondering if that would fit. Thanks! I have a couple from my Bersa I can toy around with.

Re: I'm a happy camper!
You cant beat a 45. they have all the good traits you want in a carry weapon.They are a bit heavy but worth it imho.
