In Gainsville Florida of all places. Unbelievable. EVERY 1911 made collection INCLUDING a Singer...but I digress.. They had this NIB Browning 71 Short barrel. I'm about an hour away. Took less than Jimmy Doolittle over Tokyo for me to fork over the plastic.. It's gorgeous and a great addition to my (real) 71..

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
