I just spoke with a GM rep and they are still releasing these guns bit by bit as they make them ready. I imagine that they are still trying to cull the unsuitables from the herd. They are going to call me back about transferring a few for me to look at at. I will keep the forum updated if and when I hear from her. She did mention that they might charge a Xfer fee of $30.00 to have them shipped in. I most certainly will not be paying that portion as that is thier cost of doing business.

update on 1911's in Sherman
OK,
I just spoke with a guy at Gander Mountain in Sherman:
Apparently the guns that they were sent showed up in much worse condition than what they expected. He told me that GM buyer bought a ton of them based on a sample sent buy the South Amercian distibutor. He said the real deal wasn't even close when they arrived. I was told that the Beumont store is the distribtion point for all of the Texas area stores and they sent out an email to all of the other locations that they would not be releasing any more until they figure out what to do. Basically, he explained that there were magazines missing for many of the guns, and that some came with mags that were for the wrong caliber.
This isn't the news that I wanted either, but it explains the previous post about them having guns that they would not release. They are up in arms because they don't want to sell junk, but don't want to get stuck with all of the guns either. He did say that they may decide to order new mags for the mismatched ones or discount the price accordingly. This person was by no means a decision maker however, and this may be pure speculation. At this point I am much less interested in following up with them, but I am sure that curiosity will get the best of me.
