Hell has froze over.

I traded in one of my 1911's for a Glock 19.

It was my SW1911PD, while I lost my ass on the trade (as it always is when trading). I've gotten one too many .45s lately and they are expensive to shoot. Also with the alloy frame it wasn't as fun to shoot and so it mostly sat in the safe. I would have rather got a Springfield XD OR XDm. But all he had was a subcompact XD and it was priced a bit too high.

If you would have just sold the S&W, you could have bought damn near 3 new Glock 19's

Your right about the Glock, I was looking at resale prices instead of MSRP

The Smith is listed as either $1,109 or $1,229 on S&W's website (for some reason, the prices are different on the list of SW1911's and the PD's product page)

It wasn't a super clean gun, had some carry wear. I've seen cleaner ones on GB sell for only $600 to 650. I paid a little bit more for mine. But at the time the price was reasonable. (also unlike the ones listed below, mine didn't come with an extra mag or box)

Let us know how it handles. I'd like to get one of them along with a Bulgarian Makarov and a CZ-82.

I just found out I have $300 more than I thought I did, so I'm going to be buying some FAL mags, 6906 mags, and some 9mm ammo. I might even pick up a bit of .45 ammo as well

I'm going to wait until after I shoot the 6906 though, just to make sure it doesn't have anything wrong with it

I will, i'm going to write an evaluation up comparing before and after spring change (its supposed to smooth the da pull and lessen recoil.)

A cz82 is on my buy list and i wouldn't mind a makarov. Probably save a little to get a 1911 first though.

Too bad none of ya'll live anywhere near me. I really want to get rid of my 1911, but nobody I know wants to buy it off of me
