For the first time in the history of ever, I agree with you 100%.Originally posted by DOHCTR View PostPretty much what Patrick said. A good 1911 isnt cheap, and a cheap 1911 isnt good. Plastic pistol number #2483 can be had new for $500 and for that money the 1911s you get have sloppy lockup, ride the link, and have a barrel that flops around in the bushing. They are also overly complicated, shoot expensive ammo (assuming .45acp), and and are finnickey as all get out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm not accurate at all with my full size 1911. Granted it's a 30 year old Colt, but my grouping past 10 yards is horrible.Originally posted by likeitfast55 View PostSame here. I like to look and hold 1911's. They are great guns and have served this country well. I just can not hit anything with them. I have a few, but never shoot them.

Ya, Eric's hands are going to need something wider than a single stacking frame. He's got some banana grabbers!Originally posted by phaux View PostI love glock and sig, but honestly, you should try a handful of pistols and see what you're most comfortable with. I like the look of 1911's but I find them very uncomfortable, glock and sig seem to be made for my hand though
He might actually like a model 21, plus I concur on Glock as the starter handgun... And finisher

Unless he gets Glock slide bite.Last edited by Probie; 12-08-2013, 09:28 AM.Originally posted by Theodore RooseveltIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Slide.Originally posted by Denny View PostSide bite? Is that when your CCW pinches a love handle while in your holster?
Slide bite is easily cured. Hold the fucking weapon right.
Lol @ hold the fucking weapon right.
I suppose getting a good high grip on the gun is wrong. Some people just have bigger hands.Originally posted by Theodore RooseveltIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
