1911 flu

I've been bitten by the 1911 bug. I want one bad.

I'm pretty much set on getting a Rock Island Standard GI. Everything I've read points to it being a good entry-level 1911, and just a good 1911 in general.

I'm even going so far as thinking I'll start carrying it. Cocked and locked is a little intimidating, but so was the idea of carrying with a round in the chamber - but I got over that quick. As soon as I get my 1911, I'll play with it and feel how positive the safety is and that'll be that. I've even found a good place to order one from.


Now all I need is some money to buy one...
