Guys, if you get the chance, stop by the shop, this place rocks! Risking SGB's rath, I'll quickly mention they've got a great collection of AR's on the wall, some very nice knives, and.... yep, a fantastic array of high end 1911's!

I got to see and handle for the first time, an RRA, an Ed Brown (I've got to get one of those Jeff Cooper models!), a Les Baer (talk about a tight lockup!), a compact Wilson Combat CQB (sweet little  pistol, what I probably should buy for carry), a Night Hawk (in bobbed tail, first time I've seen one in person). Also saw a customer's bobbed tail too.

The guys were very cordial, and willing to spend time letting me check out all the goodies, even though I can't legally buy a firearm directly from them (the contiguous State thing).

It was a pleasure meeting you all, I hope I've got this right, there was New-ARGuy (love what you've done to the Desert Warrior, you should consider a thread and pictures on what you've done to customize it!), M4Tuna (spent a ton of time showing me stuff and discussing knives, it was difficult not to buy one!), JaxBushmaster (a post count is not really an important thing ) and 1_AR_Newbie.

Gentlemen, thank you all for your hospitality and giving me the tour of the coolest "toy box" in Jacksonville! Next time I come through Florida, I'll stop on the way down, when I've still got some disposable income to play with .

Nice pictures NAG!  

STI makes some good looking 1911s, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why they absolutely destroy their looks with those GIGANTIC rollmarks!  
Tragic.


ETA:  Just saw that your shop rents Wilsons.  I must know how much it would cost to rent something like that.  There is little chance I'd ever get to shoot one out here, but maybe the next time I'm in FL...

Some Special Operations group ordered a bunch of STI Tacticals, made to their specs. These are Hi-cap .40 1911's with adjustable night sights and no extended magwell. They came with an 18 round mag.


Interesting.  Wonder if the serial number is indicative of anything?

I don't the SAS means anything. The pistol I just snagged has the same SN prefix. Can we get a pic of the Escort and Guardian next to a Trojan for size comparison? I'm split between the Escort and Guardian for my daughter. Wish they(or the Ranger II) were available in .38 Super without having to order 16 of them.

I just get red boxes for all  your photos.

Are these all guns you have for sale?  Do you ever get/have 9mm 1911s?

Most of them are or were for sale. The 1911's go pretty quick. They can order you anything you want though and Neil will give you alot of good recomendations and tell you about what he has seen work good and what hasn't worked out so good. If you are semi close to the store, its worth the trip.

They usually don't have many or any 9mm 1911's.

Am I right in thinking that you cna pretty much get an Ed Brown any way you want it?

So how 'bout a Special Forces Commander with Rail and Bob-Tail? Possible?
