I found out today that I won a gun raffle for a Colt M45 with a Surefire
X300 Ultra. Cost of tickets was only $100. Nice!

I've always liked the look of that gun. It's a nice change from black
or stainless.
Beautiful gun. Congratulations. Somewhat similar to mine:

I don't have a Colt .45, but my eye keeps getting drawn to them. One of these
days...maybe.

Nice gun! You are welcome to join me at the range any time you are in
the area, John. Plenty of different calibers to try!
It's fun to shoot, and with the sale Dick's had on ammo over Black Friday weekend,
it's also very cheap to shoot! The grandkids put several hundred rounds through it
last time they were up here.

Watch the really cheap ammo. It makes it tough to clean the barrel.
CCI can be found for a half-penny a round more than the green box (I
forget the brand).

The stuff at Dicks was Federal: http://tinyurl.com/hrtthzs

Cleaning guns with the kids is almost as much fun as shooting them.
