I'm looking at a Sales Order, Order Number, Date etc. for a Ruger SR1911 SS .45 5" Barrel, Item Number/Bin etc. in the amount of $569.95 +47.03 tx = $616.98 Total, and, it has my name and customer ID on it. Seems like everyones getting different answers to the same questions. Depends on where you ask. Maybe the commercial/retail delivery is specific to certain locations? Bottom left corner says: call Gemini @ --------- when in; Thanks for your business Karl. I'm liking Karl ........

Yeah, Karl is a good guy. He used to be at Austin store and I think headed up the Dallas store as I understand. He's got a quirky sense of humor - but is a good gun guy.

As for your order, the guy at Austin store told me all previous orders would be honored, so I'm wondering if you literally got your order placed just in time?

Of course you could get a P/T security gig and qualify

Actually, I was in the Dallas store yesterday afternoon. They are reserving the first shipped for LEO. However,
they are also taking "commercial" orders for the regular customer. Expected wait time? 6-8 weeks. And yes, I
ordered one. You can never have too many 1911's.

*BTW, first time I'd been in GT Dist. Saleman knew his stuff. Refreshing change from idiocy of BPS,
Academy and Cabelas sales crew. I'll be back.

That was the price I got at the Dallas store as well. It might end up being my first 1911.
