Bob Ouellette 8 Posted April 22, 2009 My family all chipped in to pay for my birthday present this year. I had to buy it myself, but I love it just the same. It's a Taurus 1911, .45 Auto. It came with 2 magazines, 2 sets of grips, and a hard case. I'm super excited about it The revolver is my Rossi .38 Special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard Clark 3 Posted April 23, 2009 So is there a discount on ammo with this 1911 club? lol Yeah, wouldn't that be nice. Just finding any at the moment is not the simplest thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Ouellette 8 Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah, wouldn't that be nice. Just finding any at the moment is not the simplest thing. Yeah, I know what you mean. Out of 5 stores, I only found 3 boxes, and that was from the guy that sold me the gun. He held them for me as soon as he got them in. And thanks Mr Thibault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Ouellette 8 Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks Scott and Racca. Hopefully it won't come down to reloading, I was hoping to use all of my old brass to pour some hardware Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 2,294 Posted April 23, 2009 Seeing as how my own birthday was the 12th, can I shoot it? I used to have an actual Colt Series 70 Govt. Model, but had to sell it about ten years ago (moving several hundred miles while unemployed is not recommended). I loved that gun! Hope that one suits you well.

Alan, I would most certainly let you shoot it! Just help me pay for some ammo, because that sh*t's expensive. I put about $40 down range between both of 'em on Tuesday. It was great, but I can't afford to do that too often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Havard 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Happy Birthday Bob! Since you, Mike, and Alan are all having birthdays, I feel like we should all get together, bring our guns and have a party! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Ouellette 8 Posted April 23, 2009 That sounds like it'd be a great party, the only problem is getting everyone together from across the country. I'm all the way on the East coast, Mike is in the West, and I know that Alan is about a day's drive from me. This one might have to be a virtual party Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Turner 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Well I motion you all come to my house we can shoot right off the back porch . I am sure you guys would like fondling my 50 AE then we can go play with the LG and the press when we run out of ammo . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Ouellette 8 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) If I could afford it, you bet your no-longer-aging-ass I'd be there! Damn this crappy economy Edited April 24, 2009 by Bob Ouellette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Lemasters 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Take the time to learn to hand load - not reload. (yes , there's a difference)You'll be pleasantly surprised at both the accuracy and the savings. Been hand loading for years( since '77). I'll stack my hand loads up against any factory made ammo any time, any where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
