Which gun is (in your opinion) the most beautiful, untouchable looking piece of artwork in existence.

Honestly, I really do think that the 1911 is far and away the most beautiful handgun in existence.  There are a great many varieties of them, but something like this, in particular, is just mind melting beautiful  to me.



Something along these lines:

I just put $1000 down on one. Should have it paid off by the end of the month.

I've wanted one for a very long time.

Is that the black stainless?  Its hard to tell, if so, I agree as far as handguns.

Yeah I just picked up another Loaded today.  A fella came into the shop (I live above it) with a fairly plain, blued Loaded with the Novak sights and a very nice trigger.  It had a wee bit of surface rust on the grip (obviously, easy to get rid of, but he need not know that!).  The dealer gave him $400 for it, and after the kid left, I said "I'll give you $450".  He said "done".

 



So, I'll be picking it up tomorrow.  It's already been cleaned, and looks like new.  The kid only picked it up once, and then put it in the case again.  He shot 7 rounds through it.  That's it.

No, that's just a Loaded, but I do own a Black Stainless Loaded Target.  Here's mine:

I would have bought that in a heartbeat.

I almost bought an Operator and I was planning on sending it to the Springer Custom shop for a Pro package, then this one came along so I jumped on it.

I'd rather have the real deal than buy a production model and sink more money into it.

Understood.  My Loaded Target in Black Stainless that I posted just above will outshoot me any day of the week.  I can keep 2"-ish (give or take) groups at 25 yds, though, so I'm happy.

Better than the TRP I tried out.  Mine does 2" groups at 25 yds.

Thanks, me too.  A bit spendy, but it sure shoots nice.

Seems to be quite a few 1911s popping up for some reason......
