I've already got a good shooter, an all stainless Springfield improved mil-spec. Love it. Nary a problem. This one was just a special one for me, more of an investment. This is the first time I've ever bought a firearm from purely an investment stand point. No - the second. I did buy two of the PPS43c pistols from Poland at $349 each, and sold one for $475 to help defray the cost of the other. I bought it with the intention to sell it quickly tho'. This colt I plan to keep. May pay for a semester of college for my 15 mo one day, who knows.
