Not going to be used for hunting but I will carry it when I get to Wyoming and find myself hunting in grizzly country. Just need to find the right bullet when I do that. I've always loved these 1911's from when I first shot one many moons ago when I first joined the Navy. Unfortunately, all the services went to 9mm but my love never faded. Unbelievabley, the wife had absolutely no problem with me buying this. I really wanted a Colt but have no problem settling for Springfield Armory and saving $100-$200 in the process. Its a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 in Mil-Spec mode. Got a hard case, two mags, mag holder, holster and cleaning brush to boot! Haven't shot it yet but will very soon.

Mulies4ever, yes, I got it at the gun show but probably not the gun show you are thinking about. Bought it at a little gun show in Gulfport, MS a couple of weekends ago, actually my first weekend home.
Went to the new Cabela's in Gonzales, LA this past weekend with the purpose of buying some rounds but ended up spending my money on three boxes of .30-40 Krag ammo, 180gr Rem Core-Lokt. I have been trying to find this ammo for a few years and couldn't pass it up.
I'll be heading back to Cabela's in a few weeks with my camera. There are some truly amazing deer there along with some pretty impressive elk. I'll post up some pics when I go again.
