1911's...?

[94StangFiveO]

I wish I could afford one of these.

That's a different one in the pic w/target.

used would probably be your best bet.

the taurus pt1911 is pretty good especially when it retailed for $550 new. not sure how much they are asking now. personally i'd rather have it over a rock island.

$700 springfields are a little too lacking.

found the Taurus for $529 at my new favorite gun shop...I think there is a 3% discount too which would get damn close to $500.

The RIA's, even the tactical worry me and only come with one mag. taurus has 2 mags....already ahead and I know taurus will be around.

Sig started tickling my fancy as I am sig nut anyway but have to junk in with the XO at around $710 or the Tac Pac for $749. I LOVE the platinum elite which would match my 220 elite.

I also liked the springfield Mil spec in Stainless....I have a thing for SS and titanium!

Now that I THINK I know what I like, time to go fondle them and see which one I like in my hand best.

I do know this much.....I am going to need a MUCH bigger safe or just buy a second one for pistols and keep my current one for rifles. LOL!!!

Thanks for the input guys!

Why no Kimber?

The next 1911 I buy will be a Springfield Armory. I've got a Kimber and a Sig .45 ACP, but I just have a hankering for a SA.

Sig managed to fuck up their first run of 1911s, then they managed to fuck up the second issue, the GSR resolution. They should stick to what they do right.

You don't buy a 1911 because it's the most durable, eats-anything, runs in the harshest conditions. Because unless you picked a great gun, you probably aren't going to get that.

My Sig isn't the 1911. It's the P220.

Actually I've seen some old broken in Colts that will run like an AK. Loose tolerances FTW!

The first .45 I shot was a 1911 and fell in love with it therefore I must have what I want.

Based on the same one, but they come as an incomplete kit. They are both versions of fuzions 10mm hunter, one has a tac rail and diff. grips.

I like the one on top better but no rail.

My post was directed towards this.

Just buy a Colt. If you don't like it there is always a great resale market. For 1911's there is Colt and then there is everything else.

Like mine a lot.. Changed the sights and added Crimson Trace grips.

This.

I bought my Colt Series 80 satin finish a few years ago for like 725, I've seen similar models with more scratches and blemishes on them than mine go for around 8-900. I know I could probably get damned near a grand for it, but I will never sell it. I love it. Most solid gun I have ever shot.

Overpriced and gay logo printed HUGE on the slide.

Went to Plano this weekend to see my dad and Grandfather for Father's day. Stopped in to my old haunt, The Bullet Trap, and fondled just about every 1911 they had. Was going to shoot the Taurus and a Springfield but the place was packed with a CHL class. It was a mad house. Ended up cornering the oldest sales guy and asked him to show me stuff in the 1911 case. Told him, this wasn't going to be my primary gun, didn't want to cheap out and wanted bang for the buck. He pulled out a Desert Eagle 1911. I didn't even know they made one...apparently they are VERY new. I played with it and fit and finished compared to everything I touched was miles better. Only thing that came close was a $1500 Kimber super pistol. He had a regular customer in the store that bought one a few months back and we chatted and he said he LOVED it. I REALLY didn't want to buy a 5th gun in the last 12 days but ended up getting it. Can't wait to take it to the range this week. Most of the reviews I have found have been VERY positive.

I also found a 110rnd drum for my GSG-5 on sale for 30% off! Damnit I have to stop spending money! LOL!

ah yes, i forgot they made a 1911. saw a review or two that says it's nice.

although i have to say if you knock kimber on it's huge gay logo, i'm surprised you like how that one says "DESERT EAGLE 1911 G" in all caps ghetto font.
