Added another 1911 and a new wheel-gun to my stable.

Went to Sportsman's Warehouse in Slidell because I learned they carry .30-06 for the M1 Garand and also needed to restock on some 45. While on the ammo aisle I kept hearing a voice calling me from my left, in the direction of the gun counter. So I just had to go investigate...

To add to my 10mm and 45 Colts, I brought home this Rock Island Armory Ultra FS 9mm. I know. I know. It's not a tippy-top-of-the-line Nighthawk, Les Baer, Ed Brown or Wilson but R.I.A. Has come a long way from their infancy and these Ultra and their Tactical models are very nice guns for entry-level 1911's. For under $600 they come with an adjustable LPA rear site and a red fiber optic front site, G10 custom grips with mag release thumb relief cut, mag well extension, beaver-tail thumb safety, ambi rear safety and skeletonized hammer and adjustable trigger.

Also picked up a Taurus Model 66 .357mag 4" revolver to get back into the wheel gun game (haven't had one since I lost a 4" Nickel Python to Katrina ).

Here's some pics of the new additions. I'll be putting these through their paces Sunday along with the new M1 Garand now that I got some ammo for it!

This gun collecting shite is addictive... And expensive!

Katrina left me with only 3 guns and up until about 5 years ago I hadn't really touched them but once I started shooting again, and became a Range Officer, it's become quite the hobby and a passion. I've over quintupled my collection since then. I sure hope I don't get in any freak boating accidents soon.

And the Garand for those of you who may have missed my post about it when I got it a few weeks back.
