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.

Nice. How many tickets did they sell?

Just what you need...another gun.
Maybe you can donate it to some children's charity down there.

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.

This would be "Alex," our collector of non-collectible guns?

an M45 with a low number may be collectible some day but right now it
is the state of the art handgun according to the military. This was
pretty much built to spec ops specs.

Interesting that you mention that. This raffle was a charity raffle
that supports a horrible, and usually fatal, childhood disease. Last
year I donated over $5000 to them. I also donate to other charities but
it's fun to have the opportunity to win something while I do it. I have
also "won" five Ruger gun auctions that benefit the Matt Light
Foundation - look it up, they support kids. Those auctions totaled
roughly $7500. In March I will be touring the Ruger facility in NH and
also spending a day at their range with Matt Light. I also bid $7800
for two seats to Saturday Night Live. That money goes to - you guessed
it - a children's charity.

That's about $20,000 to children's charities for 2015 and roughly $5000
to other charities. I don't need you to tell me where to donate my
money or to decide how many guns I need.

Who has benefited from your contributions this year? There's still
time. Take a look at charitybuzz.com You might even find something you
can afford.

Peace

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!
