I only read the captions but I can tell this is 4 steaming coils on the turd-o meter. It has the feel of hanging out in a gunshop.

http://www.amazon.com/1911-First-Years-Patrick-Sweeney/dp/1440211159

The shipping via USPS Priority Mail was $12.87 as the turd is so heavy. If anybody wants this book PayPal me $13 and I will ship right away.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

.....well then PLEASE take this one of his off my hands and out of my house!!

 

[FLIPPER 348]

that explains quite a bit

For $13? :supergrin:

I will....

my paypal is [email protected]

 

[FLIPPER 348]

It explains comments like "made from old railroad steel"

 

[FLIPPER 348]

$13 and this turd is yours!

 

[FLIPPER 348]

see my 1st post



the 1st one to drop $13 in my Paypal gets this turd, will ship on Monday

 

[FLIPPER 348]

outstanding, thanks so much


It will ship on Monday.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

Because the captions were enough for me to know not to waste my time, ...they read like moronic gunshop talk. It was like watching Wheel of Fortune after a good Jeopardy round.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

I like stock 1911A1s. How do you feel about those??



There are MUCH better books out there than the turd in question.


........ones that don't use the word patootie in captions!

 

[FLIPPER 348]

Then your assumption is correct. well done!

:rofl::rofl:


Flipper what books do you recommend? I just finished reading this one and am looking forward to reading some more about the 1911s and guns in general.

I don't hate any of them. The good ones can be expensive but well worth the cost and there will be no gunshop or 'collector' banter.

For startes I recommend:
http://www.paperbackswap.com/Government-Models-Development-William-H-Goddard/book/0917218248/

You will learn more here than anywhere else.

this one is spendy but well worth it:
http://www.amazon.com/Collectors-Guide-Colt-Service-Pistols/dp/0963397133



this will be my next one:
http://www.amazon.com/Model-1911A1-Military-Commercial-Pistols/dp/1882391462/ref=pd_sim_b_1


and when I have the extra cash on hand
http://www.amazon.com/Colt-45-Gover...=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299473199&sr=1-2

to late, the turd was paypaled for $13 yesterday and will ship tomorrow to a lucky GTer.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

The turd of a 1911 book is on it's way via USPS Media Mail, should be there by the 14th.

When it comes to 1911 books there are folks who like Jeopardy and folk who like Wheel of Fortune.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

the best part about it for me was the sexy cover pic

 

[FLIPPER 348]

Flipper...It's 3/23, and I haven't seen the book. Please let me know what is going on with this book. I had paid for it quickly, and had followed up with appropriate communication. And was hopping the same from you. If it has been shipped, please advise of tracking and/or delivery confirmation.

I have refunded your $13 as the book has not shown up as yet. Even using Media Mail it should have shown up by now! When (if) it does feel free to send the $13 back.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

When did I insult whomever Brian is??

 

[FLIPPER 348]

(Brian)

BS, CS, comment.

I think it's quite valid.

 

[FLIPPER 348]

He and Sweeny seem to have a lot alike when it comes to 1911 'writing' IMHO. Sweeny is so popular 'round here, why would you consider it insulting??
