I have been wanting a ruger lw commander in .45 for a couple years but never got too serious about it. Well with all the festivities going on I started looking only to find out as many of us have that a lot of good guns are hard to find. In my searches I found out about the Talo Night watcthman edition of the lw ruger... mostly the same gun without the two tone finish night sights and different grips...
I found one of an auction sight a week ago or so and being early the prices were at the low starting prices... the regular LW ruger pushes 800- these 900 and up... I threw an early bid in the 600 range not thinkin anything of it. Sure enough I was outbid. well I was half watching it and was home 15 minutes before the scheduled end... I was surprised it was listed at under 725... I threw a bid of 730 and set my computer down not wanting to see or get into a bid war... I have some money set aside for savings and did not need tempted to be stupid - like I need help for that sure enough my phone alerted me to an email notice saying I won the auction...
I never won a gun auction on one of the gun auction sights before... A bud owed me a transfer and shipping was cheap so in a day or three I will hopefully have a new carry piece that I have wanted to try for a while- I have its heavier brother that I like - the light weight was not out when I bought it...
I like 1911's and while I like the newer polymer guns I really prefer the trigger and feel of the 1911's but I grew up on them and quality smith n colt revolvers so it may be oldmanitis
