Now that i know where Federal Firearms is, i'm going ride up there on saturday and check it out. Hopefully put my hands on some guns and finally talk to someoone who can point me in the right direction. Not calling any names out but the last place that i went to shoot my gun in dover, well kid behind the counter said to me " i didn't know smith & wesson made a 1911". I said, " you never heard of the E series" and he said no. ummmmmm ok. i know i'm the furthest from being any kind of expert, but i did learn how to read when i was a kid.
