My 1911....thanks to the Black Friday sale

[Alan]

With all the Black Friday deals popping up everywhere, what did y'all end up buying or planning to get?

So I finally treated myself to the 1911 I’ve always wanted, and my local shop gave me a sweet deal thanks to the sale!

Nice!
I hadn’t planned on buying anything big this year. I just bought a couple of gear items I’ve been putting off, nothing as big as a 1911, but definitely some upgrades I’ve been wanting for a while.

Nice, I’ve always had a soft spot for the 1911!

Beautiful gun. Congratulations !

My wife took me to Lowe's and bought me about $250 worth of new tools.

My friend and I were enjoying cigars and whiskey around the table yesterday as he was telling me how he always wanted a 1911. A couple of neats later and I showed him the low end Tisas Service Special, I had just bought we field stripped a couple of times to show him the workings. Wide eyed and more neats later he decided to order a Tisas on line. I then showed him my Ruger LWCDR and more neats later he marveled how wonderfully light it is. Next getting the scale out he started weighing things and another neat down, looking on the webbernet, he found a full size Ruger light weight 1911 and marveled on the low Black Friday price and said why not?
So now he has 2 1911s coming. We ordered 1k fmj practice rounds at a good price and found some great grips to top it all off. I may have had a hand in creating another Addict...

The Tisas was a solid first choice, those guns are really worth the money and do a great job of introducing someone to the 1911 world. For me, once you hand over a lightweight Ruger, it’s all over. They feel so much better in the hand than most people expect. I totally get why your buddy grabbed two after that… especially with those Black Friday prices.
