Pulled the trigger

[SteveS2]

 Hit the local gun show yesterday looking for a 10mm in 1911. Found one used Kimber EclipseII in my area with 3 mags for a grand. Had decided if I didn't find one at the show I was going to drive the 2 hours to see it and make an offer.  The show was pretty good. Several 1911 10's there. I handled a used Colt, 2 new old style Colts, 2 new Kimber TLE's a DW Razorback and a few Witnesses.  Also found an STI.. They were all nice and all priced over a thousand bucks except the TLE which was about 900..The I found the table with the new Rock Islands. I was able to compare a TLE and Rock side by side. Long story short, I couldn't see paying another 400 bucks for a Kimber when the Rock seemed to be built like a tank with all the features I wanted and will serve me for what I want it for. They were 580 plus tax. I bought an extra Mecgar mag and 2 boxes of ammo and was out for right at 700. Talked to 2 other gentlemen that owned Rocks  in 10mm there and neither had anything but good to say about them.The thing is soaked in Cosmoline and I am on shift today and going out of town this week. Ill post pics and a range report when I get to clean her up and shoot her.

SteveS2, congrats on the procurement hope it serves you well, I gather that it was the Rock that you opted for and being a new gun makes it even more the better...
