They bring it from the back, in a box, and still in it's original packaging.

Don't accept the display model.

This desu

1911s chambered for 9mm should be scrapped for parts

>>31713506
to settle your nerves i want this as a target gun 9mm ammo is cheap, and i don't think a 45 is need to put holes in paper

>>31713492
is it bad to buy from a gun shop without a range where you can't shoot it before buying considering the gun should be new?

>>31713560
No. You don't have to shoot a gun to tell if it's new or not.

>>31713573
since i'm a noob how do you tell?

By that logic 22lr is best. To each there own. If you only plan to shoot 9mm brass out of the range officer consider that aluminum/steel 45 is usually only a few dollars more per box. The 9mm out of a 1911 is ridiculously soft shooting and Springfield has decently priced magazines for that caliber.
