Whitewater Valley Friends of the NRA Banquet was Saturday night, May 7th. The gun of the year sold for $4,000.00.

It is amazing what a good looking gun, a big crowd of NRA supporters and the heat of an auction can do to the selling prices.

I found this one in Colorado and bought it.

[Love the 1911]

After looking at that, I feel like I need to delete browsing history before my wife returns home

Thanks guys. I have been doing the Friends of the NRA Banquets for a while now and everyone on the committee said that this is the most stunning gun of the year that they remember. But hey it is the 100th anniversary and Colt did it up right.

I am doing the transfers for local NRA dinner on June 4th and have had this gun in the shop for a couple weeks. I try to show it of as much as possible, very nice Colt.

As legendary as it is beautiful. Congratulations on your acquisition!


(Like someone else said, I couldn't own a gun like that. I'd HAVE to shoot it!)

 

[G McBride]

Guys, go and support your local Friends of the NRA by attending the banquets. The money spent at these banquets supports the local shooting programs for our youth in Indiana. Last March or April there was about $250,000 in grant money distributed in Indiana.

Plus you get the chance to win or buy new guns. What could be a better night out. Take your wives along they enjoy the Auction items also.

Have you shot it yet?

I WON !

I was lucky enough to win one at the FNRA Banquet in Ketchum, Idaho last month. I bought a $20 raffle ticket and only 100 were being sold. I'm not exactly sure how many actually were sold, but my number was drawn! Still haven't decided whether or not I will ever shoot it. I did put it in a nice display case. Was wondering what you might do if you had one. G McBride, how much did you pay for yours in Co?

To shoot or not to shoot, that is the question?

I WON !

To shoot or not to shoot, that is the question?

Congratulations Idaho!

Personally I am a shooter, not a collector, even if some of my firearms are "collectable" so to speak they still get taken to the range.

But whether or not you should shoot yours is something that you'll have to decide for yourself.
