I knew that old Johns masterpiece had finally got its due recognition when S&W started making their copy of it. My first one and still my favorite one that I shoot all the time was made in 1918, I bought it in 1967, so far I have had to replace one extractor, lost track of how many thousands of rounds I put thru it years ago.
IF I were to own one, yeah...it would be a Smith & Wesson.
Probably the Gunsite edition.

If I had an extra thou lying around, yeah...I'd buy one.
I just can't see paying a grand (or more) for one pistol.
Hell, I can't see giving that much for a rifle! 
Holy cow! Very impressive. Once I figure out what I'm doing with these 1911's I will likely find a good Colt or other manufacturer.

I just ordered a Smith Gunsite. Too bad it won't arrive until late July
Once it comes in you'll have to come up and shoot it with me.
I just recently purchased my first 1911 a few weeks ago and love it. Its a Para X SSP.

Nope! Not gonna do it. If I shoot it, I'll want one.
That's all I need is to sell a kidney to be able to afford one.
Besides...if I bought a 1911, GM would never let me hear the end of it.

It wasn't as expensive as you think. I'll PM you with the price, you'll be surprised.
I'm hopefully going to convince ef9turbo to go out with me to break it in!

Hell I'd probably find some mags to donate to ya.
