Title: new 1911
Post by: Jamieb on December 19, 2012, 08:13:09 PM: A Friend of mine bought this pistol and let me shoot a few rounds through it, a couple of summers ago. Well I really liked it and wanted one like it but figured it was out of me price range. The pistol got traded to a guy that just put it in his safe, there it sat for over a year. The owner decided sense it never got used that he'd like to sell it and I got a chance to get it at a good price so I brought it home last night and now I have a new 45acp for bowling pin shoots.
I've never fired a 1911 with a trigger this nice, it fits my hand like it was custom made for me. It's been a while sense I got this exited about a new gun.

I wouldn't say there is nothing better, but there's nothing with more class.

Post by: Jamieb on December 28, 2012, 10:16:10 PM: I used the Wilson in this weeks match and I shot as well or maybe even a litter better then if I was using my Kimberly that I've been shooting the last couple of years.
I've put a few hundred rounds through the Wilson without a single hickup.
I got a good enough deal on this pistol that I figured I could shoot it for awhile and if I didn't fall in love with it than I could sell it for what I have into it. I can say for sure this gun has found a home in my safe.
