New to the community with a Bell EG723

[manta]

Just a quick intro...

SPS put me on to this lifestyle and now I am addicted. (jerk). Funny how 1 day and a trip to Richmond BC can change your life.

Bought my first gun yesterday and is a Bell EG723 full metal... It was sold to me as a Beretta but from what I read (and the markings on this piece) the Beretta is a 9mm and the Bell EG723 has .45 all over it... Is this a Colt 1911, Colt .45 or a Beretta 1911? What's the dealio?

Does anyone have this gun or have any reviews on it? So far I am pretty damn happy with it. Just need to get a 2nd one so I can make my dual back holster and finish off the look ( I know... I know, this isn't the same gun but I am a leathersmith and I want to make this holster )

this was the one on craigslist eh?

Bell is lower quality than some, comparable to kwa

A Beretta 92 has NOTHING to do with and looks NOTHING like a 1911.

Maybe do some googling?

EDIT: I did it myself. It's definitely a 1911. Why would you think it's a Beretta?

Most people don't know guns at all. Hell, the girl on the news about the Dawson College thing thought a Storm was a "machine gun".

Never said it had anything to do with looks. Only that the gun itself did not give me any indication that it was a Beretta. My buddy hooked me up with the guy that had this gun and before we went over to pick it up we were told it was a Beretta. I liked the way it felt and shot so I bought it because that is how I role... Instant gratification over long term benefits. Sometimes it works out.

Thanks for the advice and honest input Purplestairs.

No, this wasn't in Craigslist. Well, it may have been but that is not how I found out about it. I'm learning but have only just begun my quest. I'll try to not irritate the veterans with stupid questions until I do a little research. But I am not makin' any promises

[SPS]

[Aquamarine]

But Hyundai is pretty damn good these days.

isn't KWA a rebrand of KSC? if so, it is far from low quality.

[PaCHeKo!]

I would take my Hyundai Accent SR 2007 over any Nissan, Toyota, etc.

38 000 km so far on 10 months! I never went to dealership but for oil change.

... KWA and KSC are the same. KWA usually come with metal slide but without trades. KSC come with plastic slide but with trades.

Thanks for the car advice guys!~

SPS! you're a dick.

I'll see you in hell!

wanna go for a smoke?

[Muffin]

Smoking is bad for you. And it isn't nearly as 'cool' as the cool kids say.
