About a month ago i planted some spinach and radishes at my mother's house in hopes of an early bumper crop. It had my doubts because April was so cold and just flat out terrible; however, life prevailed and i was rewarded with a nice load of spinach. The radishes have a another week or so, but they will be available soon. I am looking forward to a salad with spinach, dandelion leaves, radishes, and maybe a ramp.
On to the 1911's. My brother, Angry Mike, has been working 3 jobs. He has been able to save a bunch of money, so yesterday he went shopping, and returned with a 1911. He purchased the new Ruger SR-1911. The SR-1911 is Ruger's first 1911, which is hard to believe since Ruger has been making quality firearms for a while now. He also picked up a Charter Arms .44spl. Charter is a long cry from Ruger's quality, but as mike puts it, "the price was right".
The SR-1911 is fantastic. I just returned from his house where i was able to check it out. I will do a range review of it very soon. I am sure this thing is going to get shot, a lot.
As for the Charter Arms. It is not as bad as i thought. Here are a few pics of it compared to my Ruger LCR-357. We will be shooting the Charter a lot too in the next few days. Thanks to Angry Mike for spending a boat load of money for our entertainment.
.44 Spl. should be a lot of fun to shoot. The upcoming weekend is a long one for me, and it will be full of shooting cool guns and catching big fish.
That's a fine 45. Ruger firearms are worth their price. I hunted deer in PA with a stainless Ruger SA in 357 mag. At 60 yards that chest cavity was destroyed. Their 45 is impressive, and effective.
ReplyDeleteMan, that is some great looking spinach, Savage!
ReplyDeleteand maybe a nice homemade dressing
ReplyDeleteBrkTrt, i could not agree more, Ruger Revolvers are among the best, and i feel their SR-1911 will follow that tradition. Blake, is the dressing for the greens or to cool off a white hot barrel on a new 1911. SRM, thanks i am trying.
