Thanks guys!
I was a little on the fence mostly due to the pricetag but I'm nearly in awe of it now that I have it home.
So, Gunfighter123, et al. thanks for helping push me over edge on this one. I can't wait to get it out to the desert!
texastactical: The wait was far to long! I was an idiot and didn't realize my ID had expired, so I had to wait in the DMV, then wait for the new one in the mail, then wait 10 days for the background check. The worse part is that I missed out on a couple good shoots with friends while I was waiting for the card to show. Lesson learned- bleh!
BTW, can you tell us how your SOCOM was set up in the competition you won?
rogue007: I hear ya- 1911 is next on my list. I own a Glock that goes bang every time and for that I'll allways love it but since it's limited to 10rds here, I 'd really prefer a single-stack auto and the 1911 has no rivals there IMO. For living in the PRK, I think I've done OK in the hassle-free, evil-looking and effective department
timothy585: Yep. I would discribe it as tight and rough at the moment- looking foreward to breaking it in! What kind of cheek rest are you using there?
I'm crushing on the M1A now- there's just something about the reciever and its complex contours and asymetry that stimulates my mind. My friends mini got me looking in this direction and thusly, the SOCOM has got me looking to the OGs. If this is a sickness, I don't want to be well.
