I talked to the little Brit guy and asked if they would take $499. He went away for a while, came back and we did the deal for $499. That was a screamer as far as I was concerned. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but I was pretty happy. Still have it- mint in the safe!

I had no idea you could negotiate gun prices at The Firing Line?

My guess is the gun was a consignment. I have bought several pistols there where I offered less than the tagged price. I recall a Pasadena Auto Mag and the P38 as the 2 most recent. I wouldn't do that on an obviously new gun, as in late model that they prob got from their distributor. Older guns- you betcha!

You are just lucky I didn't have the money when I saw it, must have passed each other in the parking lot.[Beer]
I ordered a Ruger SR1911 while I was there. Not the same, I know.

Just because I know what a naked woman looks like [Coffee]
Lets see some pics of the gun!

Don't let Atrain see this, he'll tell you how comparable his Deagle 1911 is. [LOL]

Did you get the bull?

For the picture-lovers- my 499 Firing Line score.
