Bought another 1911, hope I got a deal
 

Bought this CASPIAN 45 acp 1911, guy was bragging how it's the most accurate gun he's ever shot, & since i had sinned by buying a glock, to make up for the glock I bought this 1911 what you guys think Caspian Arms 45 Auto : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

Well since u sinned in buying a glock, you can give me the glock ;)

Caspian Arms??? Im not familiar with that make. Please tell me this is a quality piece. For some reason "Saturday Night Special" comes to mind. Please, enlighten me...........:humm:

WOW wish I could buy guns like you do??? can you give me a M14A1 for my birthday lol!

Need a union job to be able to afford guns like he does....:s::s::s::s:

Eddy do you really want to carry a gun without a frame mounted safety:nope:

Here is their website Caspian Arms Ltd. gunsmith used their parts to build CUSTOM 1911

Having a understanding wife with a good job helps:yeah:

Way to go with the wifie!!!! :jump: Of course, being single, as I am, I dont have to ask anyone. I see, I like, I buy.:yeah:

I'll take anything for free ;)

I have a glock.. have yet to shoot my self or even come close the trigger, just gotta train your self, It was handy when I had to dispatch an ambushing skunk the other night, which i now regret because I gag everytime I walk in there at the moment.

Can't wait to get this CASPIAN 45:yeah:

The CASPIAN 45 has been shipped to my FFL thur UPS

I browsed through the link you sent me on the Caspian. Looks like a nice piece. I was in Academy sporting Goods a little wile ago and spied a "Citidel" 1911 in .45 cal. I got to fondle it for a couple of minutes. Looks nice and feels nice, but............I dont know.......:humm:

Theres so many 1911 variants, it amazes me. Makes Ive never even heard before!:s:

There are many good 1911 out there, Before you buy one, just google a review for it & you'll know which ones are the good ones:humm:

I have four variants already: Smith & Wesson 1911, Kimber Elite 1911, Springfield Armory 1911, and Colt 1911. I dont think I'll be needing any more. Of all, the Springfield has the stiffest action and higher trigger pull weight. I'll probably have some work done on this one to smooth it out. The other three have very smooth actions and relatively light trigger pull. The Colt has the least rounds through it. It was gifted to me when I retired from Popo Department 1 1/2 years ago. The S&W has the most rounds as I carried this throughout my career. It also has the smoothest action (it should after over 183 thousand rounds) and has NEVER failed me. Kudos to S&W for keeping me safe. It served me well in the 4 shootouts Ive been involved in. It was a partnership, if you will. I still carry it now as a CCW. :tu:

I love the smell of Diesel and gunsmoke in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those 1911 are quality pieces, I just can't stop buying guns

Martin, you know what is better than buying guns, giving guns away ;)

ED, You'll have a better chance of a crack head, or meth freak giving you their drug, before I give away my guns, Guess my ADDICTION is stronger:D

Well hell :( lmao

Ya, I have a gun addiction but at least its in check I cant steal because there fore I lose my right to own. LOL

I just can't stop thinking about the three "W" wheels, weapons, & women:nope:

Yeah, thats why I bought them. Except for the Colt. They are well known tried and true pieces and have been around for a while. And, thats why I kinda shy away from other variants that seem to "pop up" IMO. Im just a ol' salty dog stuck in his ways I guess. I used to have a rather large collection of guns and rifles.

During my career, many elderly men who owned guns passed away (no sh*t huh?). Well the wives or other family would usually bring the weapons to the PD to have them destroyed. I, being the RangeMaster, would usually make a deal to buy them for just a few bucks, off duty transaction of course. I bought many quality pieces for btwn $1.00 to $6.00 a piece. I would then register them in my name. Most of the the cheapies would get dismantled and destroyed, while some were made inoperable and used for training purposes.

I ended up with 41 semi-auto pistols, 37 revolvers, 17 shotguns, and 23 various rifles.
Most all have been sold, while some of the rarer pieces have been encased in shadow boxes with police memorabilia, for display, and firing pins removed. I use/play with only a select few. I collected and used the ammunition as well. Ah, the good 'ol days.

if i can buy guns that cheap, i would've never retired:nope:

Those people just wanted to get rid of them. I would give a receipt, with signatures, creating a paper trail to cover my ass.
I recently almost bought 4 antique double barrel shotguns, two of which were short barrel "coach guns" from an elderly lady (93 years of age) I met at an antique store. I inquired the origin and she did not know. She said her husband, deceased now for 5 years, came home with them and put them in the gun safe. This antique lady was an antique collector. I did some research on them for their value and such online. Turns out they are over 150 years old. I ended up finding an article regarding the theft of antique shotguns almost 6years ago from another antique store in southern New Mexico. Through additional research and contact with the owner of the antique store, I emailed photos of the ones this old lady had. Those turned out to be the pieces stolen from his store. I told the lady about the discovery. she and I later took a day trip and returned the shotguns to the owner. He was thrilled to have them back. They were family heirlooms he had on display. Who knows where these would have ended up. The old lady, whom shall remain nameless, passed away almost two weeks ago. Did I mention I retired as a Detective? "Alls well that ends well I guess"

Anyway Im happy with what I have left. The cost of ammo is what hurts. As a Popo, I used to buy cases of ammo on December of every year, and claim the purchases in my taxes. (Training purposes ya know). I would essentially get ammo for free. Now I have to buy it like every one else, and cant write it off. :td:

You buy lots of guns. Be careful and always be weary of hand to hand purchases. If the price is TOO GOOD, theres probably a hidden reason. Gun shows are norotious for stolen pieces, especially parkinglot sales. Always buy from a reputable gun dealer.

My FFL DEALER call to tell me, he got my CASPIAN & it has a ED BROWN barrel & BO-MAR rear site:jump: can't wait to pick up my gun:nope:

Right On!! Im not familiar with the ED BROWN bbl, but I am with BO-Mar sights. Thats an exceptional sight pkg. Let me know how it shoots, and post a pic if you get a chance. Enjoy!
Now, Im gonna go out and give my truck and oil change and service. Its time. :c:

ED BROWN is a top notch barrel maker:tu:

I guess Im gonna have to expand my horizons. I'll look into that for sure.
Thanks
