GOT IT!

unfired (atleast appears to be, all factory greased up still) SS Champion Loaded.. i had posted about this before ... found it locally for sale and was first to contact the gentlemen (VERY nice guy btw, never talked to someone for 30+ minutes i was buying from FTF, great guy) ... :D

came with::

case, paperwork, etc even price tag
pierce grip insert (now off i dont like it)
galco king tuk
galco shoulder rig (already sold)

price was GREAT, and i went for it .. its my first 1911 and my 35th birthday present to myself (ok bday isnt for 2.5 months, but i had been planning this all year) ... glad i got this instead of the SR1911 i was thinking about (im a ruger freak) ..

anyways, here are some crappy cell phone pics of all i got ..

id like to add VZ grips and nothing else .. carried it for a little while tonight and i can say without a doubt the weight of this vs my SP101 or SR9c will NOT be an issue.. VERY comfortable to carry .. surprisingly so ..

what do ya think? I hear these are hard to get nowadays .. i wasnt extremely picky about my first 1911.. i wanted SS, 4-5", and most all things done for basic options so i can get used to one and learn more .. im VERY pleased with this considering ive come close to buying a RIA before




how it is for now .

Champions are great guns!

I kick myself for selling off my old GI Champ I had years ago, it was such a great reliable gun.

I've got another one now, and I'll be keeping this one.

Congrats!

That's exactly the first Champion I bought, and still have...  

Congrats on getting what you wanted

Looks like how mine started out; ended up bead blasted w/single side safety minus ILS plus 20 LPI. I want to make my compact a near twin.

Congrats! She's beautiful.
