I just paid $500 for my like new Springer mil-spec so with the budget you mentioned you'll have lots left over for ammo...

It's quite possible that Cane is a Colt fan. Really hard to tell though due to the inherent subtlety of his posts...

Where in Ft. Worth? I might drag myself out there if it is going to be a good one. The last show at Dallas Market Hall was a pretty big disappointment.

Will Rogers on Saturday and Sunday. I've never been, but it's supposed to be a good one. Only happens there twice a year.

I say get another of the previously listed so that you can get a double shoulder harness and have matching 1911's, one for each hand.
