Went to the gun show at the fairgrounds this morning and found a hell of a deal on a Taurus PT1911AL in 2 tone gray/black. Excited to finally get a 1911. 
Hurray! I got my first 1911!

It was pretty decent. There's as many AR style rifles and Sig brand pistols as anyone could ever want. I went to the same show a few months ago and thought it was pretty much the same. It was worth driving up from Guthrie to me since I found a great deal on the gun I wanted, but if you were going to just troll around I don't know that I'd bother.
I ended up with .67 cents left in my gun account, so it will be payday before I can afford to get some ammo and actually shoot it. lol

That style is just straight sexy.

Sweet congrats!!! Nice looking pistol.

Looks good to me
That is sweet looking. Nothing beats the 1911 in style or comfort IMO.

No doubt. I've been pining after one of those 1911's for months. I looked at the RIA model that looks exactly like that, but when I got my hands on the RIA I just didn't really like the way it felt. Ran across a booth that had a couple of these Taurus's and fell in love.
I can't wait to pull the stock grips off and get a cool custom set. Thinking about getting this "http://cdn2.holytaco.com/wp-content/uploads/images/unicorn_tattoos_1.jpg" laser engraved on a black grip set.

So far my favorite thing was when I was breaking it down to clean it up and the spring, coil plug, and bushing all flew across the room and behind the couch. I spent the next 2 hours trying to get it all back together because I didn't find the spring plug. I don't know why the break down instructions in the manual are so terrible. I looked at three different website before I realized I was missing a part. lol
