New Toy (1911 Clone)

MarkBall · February 10, 2004, 17:20

Just went to the local gun show last weekend & purchased a Firestorm .45 1911 clone.

Got a holster, 3 extra mags & 100 rounds for around $375.00

I have seen the reviews of the Firestorm - not all favorable, but for a first time semi handgun, I think I can learn on this one. The reviews I've seen haven't been so negative I wouldn't trust it, just needs some tweaking. Saw a bunch of Colts ($1100.00-$1500.00), Springfield Armory's, a couple of Sistema's ($550.00 & $650.00) and other's.

Figured for $325.00, it's a good starter. Haven't had time to test fire it yet. Hope to do so in the next week or so. I'll try to post a couple of pics then.
