Title: Pretty New Custom Colt 1911
Post by: Sincendiary on February 04, 2013, 05:29:20 PM
I just got home from Afghanistan and picked up my deployment present to myself at Nebraska Gun.  A soldier under my charge designed the engraving and I was very impressed and very proud to get the second one they made of a custom serial numbered run just for my unit :)

It's definitely going to be a bit of a safe queen but I have to fire it...sadly I came home to a giant 45 ACP draught it appears.

But soon my precious...soon.  :D

Looks nice. If you can’t find any .45, let me know. I’ll give you a box of 50. Thanks for your service.

Same here - if you are in the Bellevue area I've got 50 rds that are yours for the taking. Not a requirement but getting the brass back at some point would be cool.

In Omaha I have seen  ample supply of 45ACP.  It's 9mm that's really scarce.

But that is one awesome safe queen ;D

You guys are class acts!  I really am touched by the offer, but I managed to secure a box of federal ammo for it so I should be able to shoot this weekend.   Thank you so much for your generosity and appreciation!

I checked Lincoln's Scheels, Nebraska Gun, and two Walmarts before I found anything.  Everything seems pretty scarce in Lincoln at the moment.

Maybe I need to take a trip to Omaha, wife would appreciate the restaurant selection anyway :)

The offer stands - if you come to Omaha I'd gladly meet up with you and give you a box. Just give me a heads up when you are going to be in the area. There is a good supply at Cabela's and Scheels if you want more.
