...and Mrs gorilla is asleep, my brother is at work, Dad's cell phone is off, and I just had to tell somebody!
Christ, it's not my first pistol, my first .45, or even my first 1911, but I still feel like a ten year old trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Here she is:  I'm so fucking tickled right now that I could just

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had the same feeling most recently when I bought my own first 1911 (Springfield TRP Operator, which kicks ass btw). Hell I felt the same way waiting for my new Milt Sparks VersaMax 2 holster for my 1911 to arrive. For the record, UPS sucks.

I have the exact same one, it is a very fine pistol. Good fit, accurate, but needs trigger work. I like about a 4 pound trigger and it's about 5.5 lbs. Also might want to replace the screw-in guide rod with a GI or a 1 piece. MJD

I never get tired of looking at pictures of a great looking 1911. Congratulation on that purchase.
Do you plan on carrying it, and if so, what's the rig setup going to be? |

Arrangements have already been made for trigger job, as well as replacement of the standard "need replacing" parts.
Except for my 22's, all my pistols are carry guns.  I hope to leave the grips on it, unless they just feel like shit to me. A Milt Sparks Versa Max II will probably be the route I go, but I need to get off my ass and order it now. Any suggestions for anybody stocking VMII's? I heard Sparks has a 8-12 week lead time right now. |

If you're willing to pay a little more than you would direct from Milt Sparks you can order from Lightning Arms Sports. The have a banner ad at www.1911forum.com. They're good people.
