    Anybody have any experience with these? I handled one the other day, seemed to be solid. Surely Smith & Wesson didn't mess up the 1911. I'm not in the market yet, just curious.

    Just bought one for a friend two weeks ago. We took it to the range last week. Very, very well built and accurate gun. Got it new in the box for $600 out the door. For the money, it's one of the best I've seen.

    To clear up the "I bought it for a friend issue.

    The complete story is, I had an account on Gunbroker and I did the bidding on the gun for him. After I won the auction, it was shipped to my FFL here in Texas. My friend went to the shop and filled out the yellow form. I did not purchase the gun on the yellow form then sell it to him. There is a question on the form that says, "Are you the actual buyer of this firearm?", or something to that extent. I couldn't have legally answered that question "yes" if I were not. As long as the yellow form is in his name, it's kosher. Thank you folks for being protective of me, but I'm not an idiot. I appreciate the emails, but at my age, I know better.

    I don't mess with the ATF or the IRS.
