Bought a new toy
It's 2011, so I figured it was time to buy a new toy, and what better way to celebrate 2011 than buying my first 1911. My budget was a little less than I had planned, but I think I came away with a nice piece of hardware.
I picked up an ATI 1911 GI with 4.25" bbl. For a nice little price, I'm pretty impressed so far. It's a solid gun with some impressive tolerances. The trigger has a nice, crisp pull on it, and it's got a good feel in hand. I haven't been able to put any rounds down range yet, so this is all just initial impressions. Hopefully it performs as well as it looks. It's not quite the carry gun I was looking for, but if it shows itself to be reliable after a couple hundred rounds, I could see carrying it. Hell, it fits perfectly in the holster I currently carry my Keltec in. Sorry for the suck camera phone pic, but it's what I gots for the moment. This be the gun. Here it is with the rest of the family.

Nice... my next one will be a snub nose revolver. I myself don't like having guns that are too similar.

Why the pens? Just to pose the gun for pics?

To prop them up and get a decent picture.
