Yea I did my research and it was pretty clear to me what I wanted. I started this journey last summer with a simple gun class and took my time. Once I figured I keped comming back to a 1911 I pretty much stopped looking at anything else. Been lurking here for a long time now it seems LOL
Congrats. I have several guns but earlier this year I wanted to get a 1911. I was looking for one of the new Rugers, but they were hard as hell to find and priced like a Wilson Combat............just happed to run across a S&W 1911TA Eseries and bam...............told myself I might as well do it right the first time
Congrats, I have the same gun that I just picked up last week. Still haven't had the time to shoot it. Great choice let us know how she shoots when you get a chance.
Yea I can't wait to put a few rounds through it, I'll spend some time with it this weekend and clean it all up and take some better pictures. I wish their we're more free time hours in my day.
I notice the finish seems scratch very easy. The finish is getting scratched up older the thumb safety on the driver side. It is my carry piece so I don't expect it not to ware but I guess the first scratches are the worst
I live in Massachusetts so a trip to S&W is not dificult at all. What fit it cost you to have it recoated. I mean I can live with it if it doesn't get worse but it seems to be fairly easy to damage the finish.
Well just got mine in from budsgunshop. I'm going to replace the ambi safety with a single side and the rest will stay the same.(a first for any 1911 I have ever owned, I normally replace many more parts than just one)
I really like the look and feel of the pistol. This weekend at the rane will determine the rest of the story.
Well it's back at S&W, I dropped it off yesterday for a front night sight and some work on the blueing. I should get it back in a week or so, at least S&W isn't that far away from me.
LOL I guess I'm going to have to start a 1911 colection
