Cabela's is running 10 percent off firearms and ammo for Cabela's club members right now. Plus I get a 5 percent military discount. They had a Colt Government Model 1911 show up on their website today and the serial number indicated it was made in 1926. I called and ask them to pull it to the back, then drove to the store.
The gun in question was in nice shape, so i decided to get it. I'll have to do a closer inspection to see if it's been reblued. I was waiting in the Gun Library for two other people to check out when a reflection in a gun case caught my eye. Low and behold it was a Colt Custom Government 1911 in 38 Super. It caught my eye because it was bright stainless steel. It had everything with it (inner/outer box, two mags, documentation) and was made in 2008.
Well; damn. That's how I walked out with two 1911's and having to add a new caliber to my ammo inventory.
