Looking for Rock Island 1911 in in the Houston area FTF transactions only.

I realize your post said ftf only, but I just saw 3 Rock Island "pieces" at "my" new gun store - "Black Gold guns and ammo. The guys there are resonably friendly enough. I'd say tell them mctowalot sent you, but they might jack up the price on you.

+ 2 Gordon is a very nice guy

PM sent you way...

Hey !That's MY gun store !
I guess I couldn't keep it all to myself for long.

Gordon is great. His prices are very fair and he usually has the most sought after ammo in stock.

Also just an FYI...Tomball Pawn has the RIA for $439

Gotta love good ol Tomball Pawn...I always go to them to find prices.

I can picture him leaning on the counter and saying, "now now boys, there's plenty of 'ol Gordon to go around". I can picture it but I wish I couldn't - kinda disturbing!
I believe he had three brandnew Rock Island .45s, "small" thru "large" and they were running around $450.00, give or take a few bucks.
I still don't understand why Charles insisted on measuring me for my IWB holster, especially since I said I already had one...
Edit: Sorry Gordon, but you can blame Charles and his "your Glock 30 is here and someone alse wants to buy it do you still want it?" phone call for that.

Just count yourself lucky that you haven't had the "you paid HOW MUCH for that thing?!" Here, look at my Kimber" talk.
I've had that twice now. Nevertheless I like stopping by and showing him how the other half live

Hey Astro, I have a fantastic Rock Island totally rebuilt for sale. Just PM ME. it is a 4" 45acp with bobbed frame, custom stippling, Ed Brown patrs etc, and ceracoat finish. Two tone with olive green frame with black slide and all other parts black. Fine looking gun.

Thanks, Norman

There's no website. There's no sign out front. There's no advertising.
It's word of mouth and referrals only.

There is a big ole German Shepherd that will greet you at the door though.
I usually wait for Gordon to call him off before I walk in.

Actually there is a website - http://www.blackgoldguns.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And there is now a sign. Just doesn't say "guns" on it.

Oh and Justice is a pussycat

Well there sure is. That wasn't there a while back.

That place looks neat and the owner sounds like a character I should talk to. Thanx for the reference sorry to get off topic.
