*SPF*

One chip McCormick PowerMag 8 round, stainless steel magazine for the Government size 1911, the magazine cost me $25 about 4 months ago, maybe loaded/unloaded a total of 5 times?

I'd trade for a couple of speedloaders for Smith and Wesson K/L frame revolvers or sell for $20 cash..

<edit> While hanging out on the couch trying to get comfortable (see below) I found 5 x .45 Auto snap caps I'll throw in... I don't know how they ended up in the couch, and you may not want to know either... but the fact is they are free and easily sterilized for the germophobes out there.

You are doing this wrong.

You need to sell the revolver and get another 1911 to fit the magazine.

For some the power of the 1911 is strong... for me, targets seemed to move quietly just before I pull the trigger and then return to their original position free of holes, taunting me with girly-man insults. In the hands of others, the same 1911's have strong juju. So far, the S&W revolvers cause no such reaction from the targets and the 6" stainless steel underlugged barrel makes a slightly better club than the 1911 if I miss half a dozen times. I applied the same logic when I chose a spouse, being able to repeatedly drill the target even with occasionally awkward yet effective technique meant a life long relationship in the making. If it doesn't work out and I decide to switch from sassy brunettes to a firey redhead I'm pretty sure she won't let me post her up in the FS forum to fund the upgrade though, I'll check...

<edit - nope, I get a free ride on the couch for suggesting it though... time to break out the charm and/or Macy's card...>
