Greg 58 - was at Cabela's in La Vista today Sat 1-7, remembered you were looking the the Ruger 1911's so checked it out for ya. They had the Ruger 1911 in the used case for $740, also had one at the gun counter for $699 for the same gun. Don't know why the used one was more. More mags?

Greg58 better get yourself to Cabelas. I think you would be happy with the Ruger. I can't think of anything bad to say about mine. I have just over 600 rounds through mine without a hitch. I put about 50 factory 230gr FMJ through it first then started on various reloads. The factory sights are dead on and it is fun to shoot.

A&H - I think at Scheels the trigger locks on the long guns satisfies their legal requirements. I seem to recall hearing the cabinets for handguns was done because their insurance company demanded it.
The Dan Wesson 1911's have an excellent reputation. Here are a couple on Gunbroker for less than $1000.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Scheel's (or any other retailer) should have to lock this stuff up during the day when they have sales people around (the store is locked at night). Still, I've always wondered why Lincoln bothered to create such an ordinance and so obviously fails to enforce it. It's not like trying to catch everyone speeding, running red lights, driving drunk, robbing people, or other crimes where the perpetrator can get away before the cops arrive. If the point is to keep guns and ammo from being shoplifted, a trigger lock wouldn't stop that (and presumably could be removed once the getaway is complete). The ammo is just as accessible to shoplifting as anything else in the store (rifle and shotgun ammo). Most likely you are right about the insurance company and the mesh over the hand gun cabinets.

It's a feel good thing, like most laws.
