I just got this today. At $499 plus tax, I could not resist an accurate, reliable .45 cal handgun that takes 13+1 mags (which are only $25 each). I also like the 5" barrel because it matches the Government 1911 length and is good for .45ACP.
I've got the 9mm tactical and couldn't be happier. Now, of course, finding ammo to actually use the darn thing is the challenge these days!
I have a reason to ask this: Where did you get that pistol at that price? Was it @ Academy in San Antonio by any chance??
I got it at the Academy on Hillcroft and Westheimer in Houston. They had three left, including the one I bought. Some other Academies had them for $529 so I panicked that they were raising the prices.
