A Keeper

My son is in the Navy. One of the benefits his squadron receives is custom made firearms with all their squadron makings on it. They get these guns at a discounted price which is very nice. SIG usually added in range training and maintenance instruction.
The last one was a SIG 1911 in black with laser etching of the unit logo and motto. It's a very nice pistol and even nicer, he gave it to me.

 The latest one is a beauty. A Kimber 1911 in stainless with wood grips, Novak style carry sights lowered and flared ejection port, beaver tail grip safety and the laser engraving. Take  look for yourself.

Back from the hinterlands with gun pics!

Sorry for the lack of postings. We have gotten moved into the new digs (mostly) and settled in somewhat. We moved a whole two miles from our old house and found in this remote, desolate area (across from the library and and a multitude of stores and shops) we could not use our email service (ATT) as they don't have the "infrastructure in place". So after trying all our limited options and most of them were crap service or extremely expensive, we settled on using a Verizon 5spot device . Then the fun began. Issue after issue with the laptop as well as the desktop. Finally most of the problems have been resolved.

As promised here are some pics of the Sig Sauer 1911 my son gifted me. All I can say is THANKS!

Nitron finish with Siglite sights, external extractor, rail and nice factory grips.

As you can see it's a very nice gift. I have yet to shoot it but I have high expectations for this fine firearm.
This a great overall package. It came in a plastic case with 3(!) magazines and the government aproved cable lock. He also got a great price as the Navy did the actual ordering. It retails for a little less than 1300 buck but I won't say what his price was on it.

Have a great day and remember, shooting is the only sport endorsed by the Constitution.
