I just bought a new 1911,the only problem is it is in 9mm. I guess this is my coming out of the closet here by admitting that. I still haven't told my parents. I may have to start peeing sitting down.

In all seriousness I already have 2 in .45. I had some gift cards that i could only spend at a place that sells guns, Terrible problem to have I know. I have a few revolvers a couple .45s. I wanted an auto that the wife could shoot and that I would enjoy too. Went 1911 because I'm very familiar with the manual of arms already, have holsters etc. There is no capacity penalty because I'm in California.
I may also use it in idpa from time to time.

I'll post pics after I pick it up.

I think I'll be ok if I day a dozen hail John brownings for my sins.
