Just this morning, I went to my trusty arms provisioner to relieve him of one of his used P7's. These are old police guns, but have no milling mark like the German refurb's, and were looked after rather well. $699 is the asking price. Well, lo and behold, next to the P7s in the case was a LNIB blue enhanced Gov't Model .45, complete with Wilson FLGR(I know, guide rods...), nice rosewood grips, 2 factory mags and 2 shooting stars, for $500! Never being one to walk away from a good deal, I snapped it up. The P7 will have to wait. Just can't get away from ol' slabsides. In heaven there are no 1911's, that's why we shoot them here!
BTW it's gorgeous and tight as a drum. I know the series 80's of recent manufacture are not generally renowned for their quality, but the last two I've adopted have been exquisitely manufactured. Anyway, just had to share...hope you don't mind the long confession. Anyone else have a last-minute change of heart when it's love at first sight(even if it's an old flame like the Gov't Model)? Thanks for listening!
