I called SARCO this morning to find out how much a Rock Island 45 would be from them retail. After being transferred to four people I was told that the retail price was $398.00. That is more than $100 over their dealer price! I went back to my local gun shop today and bought the Springfield GI45 in olive drab green. For $417 I don't think I can beat it.

The widebody felt different in the hand, and after thinking about it some more it did not have the look and feel of an original 1911A1. I think the olive drab green really makes the gun.

Here she is
