Default Hello From GA

There I was this past Monday evening, drooling on the case in the local Gander Mountain and minding my own business, when I came across a whole shelf full of Dan Wessons. Well, I screwed up and asked to take a look at a SS Valor.

Racked the slide: unbelievably smooth. Pulled the trigger: crisp like a glass rod snapping. Checked the fit and finish: tight and well put-together with beautiful, classic 1911 lines. Needless to say, within ten minutes I was handing over my credit card.

Now I need some range time. At least that'll give me something to do once I go on furlough over this government sequestration nonsense.

Thanks, y'all! My wife is the photographer in the family, but I'll post pics as soon as I bank enough good husband karma so she'll take some.

Welcome to the fold Carl!

I'm down here in Columbus. How do you get to Gander Mountain? I'll be coming up I-85.

Did they have a VBOB?

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
