Lynnie,
That Colt Gunsite Government Model is a Dandy! I look forward to your impressions of the pistol after you have fired it, as well as more photos, should you be so inclined. :D :D

Joni Lynn

I'll post a report after I've had it to the range. I already have a friend begging me for it.

Merry Christmas to you.

Great pistol Joni!! hmmmmm, it seems that I don't have one of them thar Gunsite type gunz......dagnabit, I feel a relapse of Coltitis comin' on.....someone call 911 , please hurry!http://mazeguy.net/sad/fever.gif
Well, here I am...Oops, you meant call for a bam-ba-lanz, not a Colt enabler. You know they have made different flavors of the Gunsite pistol, some of them even shoot well....
And I am here to help push you into the abyss, as my good friend and Mentor, OD, has done for me in the past.....and seems like fairly recently........;)

No matter how hard I tried, I can't hate Lynnie. So I 'll just ask her again to .... adopt me. Come on Lynnie, I promise I'll never touch your revolvers, rifles or other guns, only the 1911s.

Congrats girl, another fine one!

Joni Lynn

24th December 2006, 10:54

Sorry John............I usually only adopt Colt's & S&W's with the occasional other brand mixed in.

24th December 2006, 11:23

Now David, I am only looking out for your best interests (no ... really ... that's the truth). http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/devil.gif

I'm gonna hit Denny up for a raise, I don't even need to go into work to make a sale! :p ;)

Joni, Have I told you lately dear that I hate you?

;)

Hate her??? I was thinking that with her splendid collection of Colts, 1911's and Pythons, a marriage proposal might be more in order!!! :p

Very nice Miss Joni, another homeless Colt taken in this holiday season good luck with her

Now that's the Christmas spirit!!! Giving a poor homeless Colt a loving and caring place in your heart!!! :D

swampthang

First of all, I know well that Lynnie wouldn't consider a marriage proposal, and second... what? You think I am a moron? Do the same mistake four times? LoRL, not for all the Colts in this world!

cliff731

24th December 2006, 13:25

It wasn't enough that Joni Lynn posted that beautiful stainless Colt Gunsite 1911... :nono:

Daveohno had to show up with a blued Gunsite- That's a double whammy- :butthead: :butthead:

Time to go find that drool cup... now where did I put that thang??? :confused:

Those are two absolutely stunning lookin' Colts!!!... Is it too late to write Santa and make a slight change to my wish list??? :(

If she did ,I just hope pre-nup agreement is printed up, hate to see her lose her guns :D

Yes, swampthang, I'm gettin' a bit teary eyed myself... just settin' here thinkin' about it- ;)

Well spoken, El Commandante... you are truly a sage and wise man- :D

Now that I think of it...........the dealer has a brand new GunSite Commander in blue.....................hmmm.................

Joni Lynn

No, once was twice too many times. Never again!!!!!
More Colt's are needed................more more more more.............Muwaaahaa haa haa haa haaaa....................!!!!!!!!!!

Does this mean you blew your Special Combat budget ?

Joni Lynn

Oh no............not at all.............didn't touch it.
The Special Combat is still on order and anxiously awaited.

Buh, if I was sage and wise, I would have stopped at the first one. Or even the second. I can't accept that compliment! :p

Buh, if I was sage and wise, I would have stopped at the first one. Or even the second. I can't accept that compliment! :p
Compliment is kindly but regretfully withdrawn...

and perhaps the "sage and wise" compliment should be given to Joni Lynn!!!!
No once was twice too many times. Never again!!!!!
:lm:

This bit of wisdom is equally hard to argue against...
More Colt's are needed................more more more more...
Merry Christmas, Ya'll... and those Colt Gunsite pistols are beautiful.

Joni Lynn

24th December 2006, 19:15

I think I've pretty much decided I don't like the slim grips or the short trigger. It's a nice gun from what I can tell by taking it apart to clean/lube it.

Barry in IN

24th December 2006, 19:59

I'm in agreement on the grips and trigger.
The long trigger feels better to me.
I also think the thin grips make the gun feel too flat. And, I don't like that the slim grips don't have lip over the plunger tube. It's not all THAT common for the plunger tube to come off, but I've had a few get loose enough to worry me that I didn't see it sooner. That lip over the tube is nice insurance.

Ho-hum ho-hum Joni got another gun (yawning). ;) :D Congrats on the new Colt Joni, she is a beauty. :)

25th December 2006, 16:30

Congrats on your new Gunsite Joni. You will love it. Mine shoots great.I kind of like the different feel of the slim grips and short trigger for a change.

Isn't there some sort of rule about the blatant showing of dremel tools on the forum? ;)
Isn't there a warning or something for dremel pics? ;)

Conguralation for your new purchase.You will like the gunsite Colt.After 500 rounds it gets more smoother.I don't have a problem with the short trigger but the thin grips got the go.My gunsite with the Ahrends grips very comfortable.

Lynnie,

I think even having a Dremel in the same room with that Colt is a hanging offense. So had you been looking for a Gunsite or did you just happen up on this one? It's a "beaut!"

Joni Lynn

26th December 2006, 08:25

It was in a gun store I go to once in a while. I looked at it the second time I saw it there........and left it there the next few times in also. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore and completed the adoption.

daveohno

26th December 2006, 18:09

Must be something wrong with where I shop, not only do they not have many Colt's, the prices are a couple of hundred bucks too high for the little they have.

On second thought, maybe it's for the best, if there was a place nearby with good prices, I'd have to mooch dinner at friends houses because I'd be broke!

Kangal- Nice Gunsite Pistol and very nice stocks!

Joni Lynn

2nd January 2007, 20:02

I got out to the range for a little while yesterday in the cold..........the gun functioned perfectly through the 50 rounds that I ran through it. I had 3 new mags I got from Ivan and some of his ammo as well. As worked great. The guns fixed sights are perfect for windage and it shoots just a little high which is about where I'd want it anyway. The trigger is pretty heavy so it may need some attention there.

jeff1124

2nd January 2007, 20:35

All I know, JL, is that if you shoot as good as you collect, I'm glad I'm on your side!! ( I am on your side, aren't I?)http://mazeguy.net/sad/worried.gif

Joni Lynn

2nd January 2007, 20:45

I may not be very fast when shooting but I do okay. Practice is good, perfect practice is better.

Mick_In_Texas

2nd January 2007, 21:23

CONGRATULATIONS, ma'am!!!

I'm fixin' to get me a blued Colt's O1991A1 Government Model... I love my Colt's along with my others. You women who enjoy the shooting sports, are just so valuable to law-abiding firearms owners. Enjoy this one, ma'am, and all yours.

Lynnie, I picked up on this late, but permit me to offer belated congratulations on a very nice roscoe. Of course now there's you as well as Hunter and the rest cornering the market for Colts. I guess I was very lucky to have found even the on I did.
