Yes, misprint. Just tried to buy one.

This seems like a pretty decent deal on a new SR1911. Full size or Commander. I may have to jump on this:

Sig C3 shoots as well as my 1997 fullsize KImber. I also have a 1990s kimber ultra carry which drives tacks ...... I like all 3 ... I carry the Ultra carry ... because it is dinged up the Sig is so pretty...... Zero .... ZERO ... ZERO issues on any of these three ... they all shoot better than either of my colts 70s , 80s

Don't know if either are still there.


I purchased the C3 that was at Arnzen. Great little gun. 300 flawless rounds down range so far. Highly recommended.

Not sure? This article from March has the same MSRP as listed on Rugers website.

Well look at that there's one for sale in the marketplace for right around $650.

Ok went with the sig. Took her out today for her "cherry pop" and not only does it carry well, it shoots very accurately and only a little more recoil than the 4inch Kimber's at Bills for rent. I fell in love in the first 8 rounds. The Hornady critical defense rounds did recoil a little harder, but not something I would be grimacing about before shooting. So here's some pics, first was 15 feet away, and that's 4 shots in the 10 ring:

I should've kept it, but I had another target that had been shot from 50 foot line, no bullseye's there, but all in the 7,8,9 rings.

100 shots through, 8 of the crit defense, the rest where standard ball 230 grain loads. No failures of any sort. Trigger breaks very clean and smooth!
