I got a RGN for the 2nd round too. I started shooting SS in USPSA right when they created the division, used to shoot nationals all the time when it was in Barry. I am a big 1911 fan.
I have a garand and some other WW2 and WW1 stuff so I have always wanted to pick up a USGI 1911.
What turned me off was the thought of paying 3-5K and the potential for getting ripped off.
Really for the price of the service grade I figure it's a bargain. I'd probably buy something nicer and spend more otherwise, and either way it would just be a safe queen, so I'm happy to spend less. Dream scenario for me would be a matching frame and slide, don't care who made it, don't care about the rest of the parts.
