Impulse purchase

Impulse purchase (now with pics)

I was browsing around looking for my next gun, and saw that Wittakers had a (2) Range Officers used and it sparked my interest. I have been looking at buying a 1911 and this stuck out.

I went down there today and bought the only one he had left. It is one of the first 500 which really makes no difference except it comes with an extra mag. It is in perfect shape no wear and no signs of being used except a few small scratches around where the idiot mark would be.

I paid a little more than I probably should have for a used gun 700 after my FFL fee but no tax so it is not too bad. Now the hard part comes waiting until Sunday to pick it up.

That makes 3 pistols in 2 months, a GSG, a XDm 9 and this. I think I am done for a bit until my anniversary when I get to buy my wife a Buckmark.

Congrats on the 1911. That's a fine piece of America.

See, this is the problem with more and more members in SW Indiana. I saw those listed on line and thought about heading down in the next day or two. Well, thank's for saving me the gas, I guess.

Nothing wrong with that impulse buy. I think you'll enjoy it.

Maybe a silly question but why did you have to wait to pick it up...you are in Indiana right? Also...what is an FFL fee? You bought it locally...didn't have to have it shipped in right?

Wittaker's is actually in KY, a local FFL makes a trip there every Sat. we can then pick up guns from him.

And Snorko your welcome

Cann't go wrong on that Deal,1911's are the only thing I use,Congrats on the purchase!!

Grats on the purchase! I've looked at one and I think it would make a great companion to my Springfield Loaded in stainless. And for those that have never been to Whittaker's you don't know what you are missing! Make a trip, get you some Moonlight BBQ and then go look at some guns!

With all the Southern Indiana members showing up (about time) we need to have a meet and greet around here sometime. IDPA match at Red Brush this Saturday July 2nd would be a good start !!!

I think I am done for a bit

Not, "I am" but "I think I am". Left that one wide open dinja?

Always leave yourself an out

I am now sitting here, waiting for my FFL to call me so I can go pick it up. Can someone call him and tell him to open already!

A great way to celebrate the birth of this great nation, and 100 years of one of the guns that has kept it free

I bought two Marlin '94's on an impulse last week...part of the deal is the Cowboy rifle is my Christmas present....so getting to shoot 1/2 my purchases now isnt bad...Great buy on your gun !!

Lucky! I really wanted to get a 1911 for this very occasion but I procrastinated. Now it's the 4th and I'm sitting here wondering if any LGS are even open today...
