I bought a new SAA in about 1979, put it on a closet shelf, not gonna shoot it. within a month it was at the range, shot it 30 times, very accurate, trigger sucks. Put it up, plan to do an action job and shoot it. It's still in the planning stage. May sell it and buy the STI that I want. If I own it I've shot it. Bought a new Ruger 1911 yesterday. Took me an hour and a half to get to the range with it. It's a Ruger, Rugers are really great guns but I don't think I'll ever consider one a collector's item. It's gotta be at least a Colt or S&W.
