I wish I had seen this earlier. I see the appeal for a 1911 but I am concerned that this will make the cost higher than the originally posted target price range.
I'm interested in the 1911 but would certainly be in for a Glock 17 or 21.
PENDING the actual price of engraving, we are looking at NEW Rock Island tactical model 1911's with the custom mdshooters.com engraving out the door and in our pretty little hands for the same price as what you'd pay on a non custom engraved gun INCLUDING tax, MSP and Omega lock.
This will be a good deal ladies and gentlemen. You MIGHT be able to scour the internet and find a slightly better price, but that WILL take some effort, and it won't be an mdshooters.com gun which is the point of this anyway.
Another thread will be forthcoming.
We will need 25 commitments to make this happen. That means you will need the majority of the money (cash or check) ready to go when I say it's a go. To get these guns in is a substantial investment and Shooters' Discount will be puttin ga lot of time and effort into making this happen so I think it's reasonable to ask for a hefty deposit from each of us.
Look for the new thread in the next 2 days. I'll post a link to it here in this thread.
