[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3127112, member: 24500"] So I have a buddy that's recently gotten into his unique American freedoms. Within a range trip or two, he's unloaded a bank account into some fun stuff. He also has developed a bad habit over the last few months of trusting opinions of the pawn brokers that sell guns. He shops around the LGS/pawn shops quite a bit, and he's been curious of a particular Taurus 1911 for the last few weeks. Naturally, every shooter at the table warns him that that smokin' deal would be a $650 paperweight, how Atwoods has a stainless Ruger 1911 for the same money, but he's smitten with that Taurus, even though real guns don't say Taurus on the slide. So, at lunch a few days ago, we tell him he can get a better 1911 way cheaper, brand name Crosman... which we all agree is a much better and more reputable firearms manufacturer, and gave him advice to google it on our way out the door. Apparently, excited by the premise of a cheap, quality made 1911 was too much to sit on. He drove straight over to the LGS and asked them to price one for him... It's been days, haven't heard from him. TL;DR - Sent a buddy on a 'blinker fluid' trip to the gun store. He's taking it badly. [/QUOTE]
