I went into my LGS to pick up another handgun 2 days ago and guess what they had sitting on the wall?  I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't seeing things.  Not only was it there, but it was marked at its MSRP of $1999 which usually means I can get a few bucks knocked off.  Sure enough, I was seeing things correctly and I was able to get a few bucks knocked off and so guess what followed me home?







I couldn't be happier.  I saw this beauty at SHOT Show this year and figured I would have a snowballs chance in hades of actually laying my hands on one.  I'm glad I was mistaken.

The M45 is the PWS made gun, the Colt made gun is the M45A1 CQBP

Nope, they just got the one.  They're a high volume dealer so they got the first call from their distributor when they got it in.  When asked if they wanted it, they said yes and then I stumbled across it shortly after they put it on the wall.  It wouldn't have lasted the day had I not found it early in the morning... I just got lucky.

Why is Colt trying so hard to copy the Sig Scorpion?  














Nice score, btw.

Nice pistol.  I am saving my pennies, hoping to pick one up next month.

Sigh. Want badly. My buddy is a Colonel in the USMC and he is combing heaven and earth for one.

The Sig Scorpion was an entrant to the same competition that produced the "M45A1" that did not make it past Phase I testing.

They were built to the same RFP (Request for Proposals), hence the similarities.  Sig just lost early so they decided to sell on the commercial market.

What's this talk about dual recoil springs???  Do the sigs have that too?  Does it help with felt recoil?  Seems like other pistols are starting to use this also.  Don't some of the Glocks now?  I missed all that somehow.

I was gonna say, I don't think this gun would be one a former Marine would sell...
