Factory Guns

One bad thing about taking the 1911 gunsmith classes.  It makes it so hard to buy a factory gun again.  I know enough to be really picky.  So picky it gets expensive to ever get another.

Another problem.  Now that I made some modification under careful supervision and instruction I have one pistol with a lot of my sweat equity in, and I am kinda proud of.  But pride and high value is not what you want in a tool you can lose.  I need MANY 1911s I can be proud of, so if something happens to one of em I won't be overly upset.
