Gun Show

No one has to tell me I'm crazy, because I already know!
RIA 1911A1 FS Tactical
1911 with Hoster and mag clip
So I went to the gun show today and managed to spend an entire months income! Amazingly it was my husband that did all the impulse buying! I knew what I was going there to look for, and I found it! My RIA 1911FS and somehow I amazingly ended up with the Two tone tactical! Ok so my husband ended up getting and SKS (He believe it's a Norinco) and a Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle 1935, I like the look of them, but I'm not much of a rifle girl (at least not yet, we'll see) and the other impulse purchase that is mine (He just doesn't know it yet) was a Beretta 92FS INOX with Hogue rubber grips. A very nice gun, also a month or so ago I had the chance to shoot one! Wow was it nice! So I wonder, I would spend two hours cleaning my not so nice SCCY after each visit to the range, I wonder how many hours per gun I'll spend cleaning the nice ones! I also got a 2 mag belt clip (now I need a second or third mag) a holster and a set of Delta Elite Wraparound Grips for the 1911! All this was about $1500, so I felt we did good.  The only issue with the grips are that the 1911 has ambi safety, and the grips aren't, so I would need to trim the one side and I'm not sure if I should or leave them for another gun or even sell them (I know nothing about them, anybody?)

I know there is more to tell, but for now I'm so excited I can't even use my brain! Ok so tomorrow is the range test, and I'll be bringing back reports and pictures! 
Have a bangtastic day (or night)

  1. a suggestion: break in your new guns with factory ammo. That way, if there's a consistent malfunction, you'll know it's the gun.
    Only introduce one new element at a time.
    For instance, don't make your maiden voyage to the range with new mags, reloads, etc... Just introduce one new thing at a time so if something is snagging, you'll have a better idea where to look.

  2. Thank you so much Annie! I will make sure to do as much of that as I can with the Beretta sense the 1911 has kinda already done it all I guess. I'm just grateful that the person that was having my use all that other stuff is a Certified NRA Instructor!
    He was so helpful and was watching every move I made to make sure I knew what I was doing! But if I have any problems with it I'll make sure to take it back to basics and work up from there to see what it was. Again, Thanks
