Very true. If you buy one I can come check it out...

Damn! lol

The God thread turned into a shitfest. Some of it was funny, but I wish I hadn't made it in retrospect.

Which thread?

I think Wolfe can be too. Thanks for the message....he's a really great guy. I hope he has a great year.

Al, please. Even if you were mocking me, I know there would be no malice involved. Love you bro.

And I am sure he was a damn fine rancher!

Sounds like you've chosen! You certainly will not regret your purchase. I love my 1911s.

I don't think you'll be disappointed either way, but I will say, the 1911 is my by far my favorite handgun. Love it.

Both are great weapons and well worth the cost. Very reliable, forged slides, etc. Both companies also have good warranties and stand behind their products. It really comes down to personal preference. Which feels better in your hand, feel on the trigger, slide, etc? What about the stock grip, one more comfortable, better grip, etc. I've seen some people complain about the grips on springfield saying that it hurts their palm after a few magazines at the range. I've never had an issue. My father in law owns the XDS and it's a great weapon. I've fired the RIA with a buddy and I cane away equally impressed. Any ranges near you have them for rent so you can shoot them?

Hanging in there - yesterday was brutal How have you been
