Wound up getting called in to work today and it was nuts right at closing. We wound up getting out a half hour late but they were nice customers and did buy guns, so that helps pay the light bill. Got family getting in tonight at some point so I'm gonna crash in the recliner til they get here. Then gotta work tomorrow til 4, then get to spoil g'kids. Weather is nice around here right now, supposed to get rain sometime this weekend and temps are gonna be in the 80s next week.

Thanks guys! I went to a hand surgeon yesterday and he thinks they did a good job at the ER. We elected not to mess with it any more. I do have feeling in the tip so as long as it doesn't get infected, it should be okay. :D

Deacon,
Excellent Personal overview of 1911s for WB. When I shot Wild Bunch matches back in Wisconsin, I used a Rock Island Armory 1911. Paid $450.00 for it. All I ever did to it was polish the feed ramp. It was very reliable and I was able to shoot a few clean matches with it in the Traditional category. That said, I need to mention that some of my fellow shooters would shoot some of the stages twice as fast as myself.
I made the Holster from a pattern my good friend Ten Wolves Five Shooter sent to me. I installed the checkered grips when I shot WB matches. I gave this 1911 to my grandson who is a career officer in the USMC.

Had an idea last night when I was up on the hill a mile north.  Will do a better one likely next week, should have rolled the window down. 

That is what dropped the heavy rain in Omaha and is over in Ioway.  Some mild tornadic activity.  Those tops are about 70 miles away.


He don't know what he's looking for, but he is.
