You have to understand I have to sell the wife on getting the gun. She had HATED guns her whole life and I finally have her to the point where she wants to learn to shoot the Luger and that a $500 1911 is ok, beyond that she's gonna balk at the price and shut the whole thing down and possibly be turned off to guns as they're "too expensive". The same shop has a stainless 1911 match Colt for $1800 that I'd LOVE to get but I know what will happen if I bring it up, she'll shoot it down. I figure like this, I'll get a decent 1911 for $500 and take her out shooting it and the Luger. Tax time I HOPE to find someone that I can send my Luger out to be professionally restored, then I'll start saving up to get a NICE 1911.

You gotta take baby steps with someone who has been deathly afraid of guns since they were a child.
