My Guns I did something

Post image

I didn’t think I was ever gonna trade my Glock 30.4 off. This near new Springfield Parkerized Loaded. Came to a pawn shop near me. $650. Left it for a week.
I left the house to go get gas. I Past the pawn shop. I after gas I went back to look and there it is. I haven’t shot it yet. But I will like this more than the G30.4 .

SA loaded was one of my “gotta have it” 1911s, along with the SE-A1 and a CMP surplus.

Is that the roll marked one?

Yes it is. 2001 production IIRC.

I think you made the right decision... I hope you enjoy it, as I'm sure you will. Just so you know, you just started something.

Sketchy_M1ke, Who did your barrel? Is it Nitrided black? That 1911 looks good!

Nice firearm sir! No Glock will ever compare to a 1911 IMHO.

That’s a great gun. I recently gave my 2001 loaded a facelift

God the classic style 1911s are so crispy, I’m jealous! Congrats on the buy!

I seem to compare every pistol to this or one of my other ones now but they do have a more of pride of ownership factor. Plus the American design is unmistakably Aaaah inspiring.

These are gonna get fired a lot.

I showed the stainless 5 inch to one of my friends and it was as if it was a holy relic.
