Surfing the net, I spotted what appeared to be a very clean Colt 1911
Govt. model in 45acp in a Cabela's in Minnesota.
Took a chance and bought it.
It was delivered yesterday to my local Cabela's.

While doing the paperwork.....( I have bought trucks faster)..I spotted the
Colt New Frontier. Strapped with the Elk bone grips (Ajax).
Did not have a Colt SSA in .44 special.....I do now.

Colt Govt.1911 70 series 1974 vintage.
Colt NF 1978/79.

Buying a gun at Cabelas takes patients. Apparently they didn’t get the memo that the minor mistake policy has been eased. I got everything but the strip search.
"Patients": A person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment.
"Patience": The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

Sorry, I am being the grammar police. By the way, I was promoted to lieutenant in the Grammar Police. :D

What about "Paysense", to pay someone with sense. ;)
 
The most painful part for me, buying from Cabelas, was every one of the 3-4 checks of papers also included handling firearm and recking slide. My new to me then, model 52 and 39 received more slide racking wear than any other gun I own....
 
Nice. We don't have a local Cabela's but they're building a Bass Pro eventually.

I picked-up these over the past week.

New Series 70 Gov. and a used older model of the Combat Elite. I made a few mods to my liking. Once they lift our Stage 2 fire restrictions, I can finally get out and shoot.
