I think I’ll clean my .45 next week and give a thought to the anniversary.

I think I’ll spackle the dents in my ceiling from the barrel bushing.

After many delays it looks like I will finally get some money from an inheritance this month. Because of the real estate market being so bad, we took much less than the property was worth. Still I will finally be able to buy a few things I have been putting off.

One of them will be a 1911. Not sure which one I will get yet. Price will have a big impact. I look back on some I have had in the past and probably will never have another quite as good.

I really want a Colt made and I don’t really care which model. I would settle for a lot of others tho.

Been saving up and reloading ammo and plan to burn about 500 rounds.

If that doesn't help me, I have several more.

I have to work on the 29th, but I’ll probably head up to Knob Creek on the 30th. I bought a Marlin 30-30 last year, but haven’t had an opportunity to zero her in yet. While I’m up there, I’ll also run a couple of magazines through my 1911.

Does a Swiss model 1911 Schmidt-Rubin rifle count?

;)

Start with the Remington Rand, finish with the Kimber. All of their brothers in between will get a good using and cleaning too.

I’ve been wanting that Gold Cup for many years. This anniversary sounds like a perfect time.

I’ll go shoot a round of trap with my 16 gauge Browning A-5 shotgun that was one of the last 200 made before the Germans captured the FN plant in Belgium in 1914.

Like the 1911, the A-5 is timeless.

Doing? ... Yeah, buying one to replace the one I sold. Then I’ll take it to the range and tune it in. By the 29th it should be ready for the SHTF future America is rushing toward.

What is the least expensive make and model based on a 1911 frame out there? I'd love to have one, and I have the wife's official blessing to pick up a new handgun (gotta keep the domestic peace, after all), but she isn't going to let me toss down a grand on one........!

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
