So a while back My buddy asks me to go with him to a pawnshop with a huge gun selection to help him pick out a couple of small 9mm's for himself and his wife to use for cc permits and I ended up walking out with for a rock Island 1911 for Literally a song and a dance.
I have been shooting all my life but this is My first pistol and I can say after putting a couple of boxes of ammo through it I am In Love.
Side note: my dad got me a custom long barrel ar a while back and I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, I can't wait for thanksgiving as I'm going to spend all day in the back yard shooting. (it's the only thing that makes up for your family living in the sticks)
