well, I am getting it from an estate sale,at my regular gunshop.

It's a Mark 4/70 series ,really nice,possibly never fired.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago,and didn't have the money to spend,so they held it for me.
800 bucks.
Can't wait to try it out.

Probably gonna be my dress up pistol for Church.

Oh, I'm gonna post some pics tomorrow for sure!

I have mostly always been a rifle guy,but lately,been getting a few sidearms.

I have 1 of the Ruger Redhawk 8 shot .357s,and a Super Redhawk .44 mag,7 1/2" barrel,now this one,
In the next few weeks,gonna go on and get a glock too.
Maybe those will be enough.

Yeah, but you'll make up for it tomorrow night w/ a sense of satisfaction and security. You can even put it under your pillow like you did w/ a new toy when you were a kid!

As far as I know.

We have some pretty easy weapons laws.

I haven't been to Church in a few years but...you never know when The Spirit might hit you.

You can get the build date using the S/N and looking on proofhouse.com.

You’re welcome. Only other things I will point out: That is technically a 1911A1 due to the short trigger, scalloped frame, arched mainspring housing, and longer grip safety, even though everybody calls them 1911 these days. I believe the original grip panels were checkered walnut with gold Colt medallions.

Nice gun! Enjoy in good health.
