"The following was copied from a post on www.1911forum.com
"All too often, people post about their bad experiences with guns and with gun dealers.
I wanted to report on a good experience with a dealer, Joe Rankin.
I was a very experienced shotgunner, but a total novice about pistols. I had been watching pistol matches on TV and decided I wanted to try it.
I had always been interested in 1911s. My dad was in Intelligence in WWII and had been assigned to weapons development. He'd told me stories of the 1911 development that had piqued my interest.
I contacted Joe through this forum. We discussed, at great length, the Ed Brown and Wilson Combat products. I also wanted a 22 target gun.
He recommended a S&W M41. He found one at a great price. I ordered it. It arrived as advertised. Great little gun!
I ordered a Tactical Supergrade in 45. Competitive price. I ordered it. It arrived as advertised. It is stunning.
I have a couple of other guns on order through Joe.
In every conversation and email (and there have been MANY), Joe has been a gentleman and lived up to his word on every transaction. He has consistently exhibited patience in educating me and in dealing with my eagerness to get a gun in my hands.
Ordering guns you've never seen from someone you've never seen requires an element of trust. Joe engendered that trust in our dealings.
I have absolutely nothing to gain from saying the above."
