Happened by the nearest gun shop at lunch just to eye ball and discovered a Springfield GI Champion in the case.  

This is not the GI Lightweight Champion that I have on order but close enough.   I handled it a bit and man did that thing fit nicely in my hand.  Reminds me of why I chose that model.  Can't wait for mine to come in.

The sights were pretty poor compared to my issued heat and the trigger was stiff/heavy but that can be corrected easily.  

I handled a bunch of 1911s at the NRA convention in STL a couple of years ago and was set on the GI Lightweight Champion.  After checking this one out today....I'm reminded of why I opted for that pistol.  Can't wait.

I went to my local shop today and held my first Ruger SR-556.

I know it's a Ruger, but I think I'd really like to try one out. Seemed really nice, less bulky than other piston guns.
