So I purchased a Wilson 1911 on Friday....

And damn, its a nice 1911 !!! Feels good in the hand and I hardly notice the large void in my wallet!

I had planned on hitting the range today to try it out as well as to take some pictures to post but that didnt happen.

Perhaps one evening this week I will have the time.

Oh, also, Kudos to P&D and the Alberta CFO for turning the paperwork around in 1 hour so that I could take it home

Way to go!

What model did you get?

The professional model, I liked the CQB that was in the cabinet but didnt care for another LWC.

So Shane, you shooting it at the next Alberta Tactical Handgun League match on Sunday the 25th?

Very sweet...

I was planning on purchasing a nice 1911 like your Wilson. Then TAVOR caught my eye.

I have 3 handguns....time for a Black Rifle.

Well, since there was no delay in getting the paperwork done & you didn't make time to take it out to shoot surely you had time to take a few pics?

Pics will be coming soon, I spent most of today trying to finish my Evo 10/22.

Yes Dragoon I am planning on being out on the 25th.....I think I have said that for the past years worth of matches so lets see if I can turn over a new leaf. (Which reminds me, I need to mail you a cheque.) As for will I be shooting it, I think it will depend on if my mags work well with it or not, several have springs or followers that need replacing and I never got around to ordering replacements.

Of course now comes the biggest concern of owning a Wilson.....Everything else I have will feel like crap after shooting the Wilson .

I had actually planned on getting a Ranger In .45acp but Freedom Ventures didnt have stock and I guess I didnt want to wait.

Ok, here are three quick pics I had taken this evening. The quality is pretty poor, I will take some decent ones later.

And the Commander Family in my safe
