Default Picked up a 1911

Well got my tax return back and decided to pick up a 1911 that I had been Eying up for a few months.

Its a shooters arms manufacturing elite model 1911. Its chambered in .45acp comes with one 8 round magazine.

Here we have a big shortage of .22lr. Nowhere has any! I was considering getting a .22lr 1911 but cant get ammo so i got the .45 version.

Be careful of those 1911's. They can become quite addicting.

I'd say I feel for the folks in NY, but ya'll voted for those in office who passed the law. Only one way to get rid of them.

I would also love a handgun, but Canada makes it way too hard and expensive to own one, and jail time s your penalty for packing it even it you legally own it...
