Spinach and 1911's it Must be Spring


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.

  1. 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.

  4. BrkTrt, 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.
