    I went with an LM5 (approved, still waiting for card...).

    There were 2 compelling reasons for my selection:

    1. Nostalgia
    There is no proper logical rationale behind this, except to say that I have always wanted one. I also believe nostalgia is responsible for most 1911 sales worldwide

    2. It was free
    Nothing more to say here.

    But if I had to save up and buy an SLR, I would go for a nice AR. The Colt looks really nice...

    Almost impossible to find a FAL in excellent condition these days.The ones available are usually trashed ex Zim army. The original LM5's are becoming scarcer in good condition putting prices up and moving them more into the collector category as with the FAL.

    Got both..Fal refurbished by Pantzer and LM5 refurbished from DS.

    So I better start looking for an AR then.
