Nice, there known to be sweet shooters. I dont quite dig the grips but it looks like you got nice extended controls and good sights. Tell us how she runs when you bring her out:)

Cool man. Did you not like the checkering on the front strap?

I do dig the checkered front strap but a buddy suggested hogue grips and I will give it a try at the range next weekedn. This weekend I cant because I have an Anime convention to go to.

Hogue makes quality grips i just hate fingergrooves. if they fit you though tey will help a lot.

These do and they feel great but the grip is a bit thicker because of it

The finger grooves and the width of the grip panels make the grip bigger overall, which is the reason why I took mine off of my 1911. If your hands are big enough for them, they're surely nice, but if not, it's best to stick to standard grip panels.

Good for you and your new gun!

I had been hoping to get another type of wood grip but the hogue grips are growing on me. Do they really help with the recoil and control of the gun?

Beautiful! Nice purchase.

The gun itself cost me about 700 ish not including ammo and extra mag. I plan to buy at least another one buy next week

I'm sorry man, but me and my brother laughed so hard when we saw that.
That's cool though, any fanboys get in the way of some convention goodies, just flash Mr. 45.

Oh I WISH I could go to fucking Illinois with guns but sadly that state's the people's cunt republic of bullshit and I can't carry over there

But...I live in Illinois.
Although, personally, I'd rather live near Chicago (like I do now) than in southern Illinois. I took a road trip down there a few times and found nothing but psuedo-white trash with Midwestern accents.

And I pity you that you can't exercise your right to carry arms where ever you want. I'd like to live in a state that respects that.
