A beautiful way to start a collection. The first one I ever bought was a 36 caliber black powder revolver. Way back when I was 18.

Job well done, you certainly can't go wrong with a Springfield.

my first handgun was a Kimber Gold Match II and it was a great first! Welcome to the club once you go 1911 anything else just doesnt do it. I own several other handguns but only 2 that are not 1911's. Enjoy your new toy!

40CalJoe · 09-16-2009, 03:42 PM

Congrats on the Springer. They served me well for many years. Be safe.

Shooter45 · 09-18-2009, 12:23 PM

Lotsdragon · 09-18-2009, 08:06 PM
