Ruger SR1911

[2006Blackpearl931]

SO... yesterday I walked into a new gun store here in Tullahoma called Chi Rho Firearms. I have made several purchases there already since it opened a couple months ago. I had stopped by yesterday to price a scope, and on my way out something caught my eye from the case. A Ruger SR1911. I have been wanting one(along with 10 million other gun advocates)for months, and you just don't see them sitting in a case. So, I told Chad I wanted it, and went back today and picked it up. Supply and demand have driven up prices from sea to shining sea. I got it for $699. Which is high compared to online pricing, but nobody online has them. I have called several other stores in the area, and they too have gone up on price. So, if you want to play, you have to pay. Besides, doing business with a guy just starting out, in a small town, to me is better than sending money to a "bubsguns.com" who could care less if you are pleased with your purchase. All in all I am very happy with my purchase, regardless of what some folks have bought them for. Some might say "dang that is alot for an SR1911", I say "lucky me for getting one"...lol Besides, Chad and his family are great to deal with. I will definately be buying more from him in the future!

Well hows about letting me borrow it, and a box of bullets.

Sure, I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress!

I think $$699 is still a reasonable price for that gun. Compared to what you'd pay with another manufacturer.

I have no problem paying more to help a local guy.Within reason.

[Guest rbl]

Good to hear he is having a little business, everytime I drive by its dead.

that sr1911 is sweet hope you enjoy it

[2006Blackpearl931]

I talked him down to $699. He had $769 on it. Which looking at gunbroker and gunsamerica, there are people paying those kinds of prices right now. I took it apart today. Cleaned and oiled it properly. It really is alot of 1911 for the money.... I absolutely have to have new grips for it though. Black Wilson Combat grips and a stainless mag well are in my midwayusa cart!

Where is this in Tullahoma? I have not visited this place yet; sounds like I should.

[2006Blackpearl931]

Going out of town on your left on Hwy 55. Right before you cross the railroad tracks. Small building, but he has tripled inventory since he opened. Great people to deal with.

He has some Keltec shotgun that just came out. A KSG maybe? Anyhow, very cool. Holds 14 rounds in the tubes. Worth stopping by to check it out.

Sounds like the KSG is not for sale. He has it on the wall, but said he would not sale it.

Now that's not nice! Teasing us with pictures like that! LOL

Congrats on finding it!

[Guest FiddleDog]

That's amazing. You can't find these things hardly anywhere. I was starting to think that the slide was milled out of unobtainium or some other rare metal.
