The 1911 Thread

[Recon_Ninja_985]

because of the extreme variety of 1911s on the market, and because the guild needed a thread for them.

this is a place to discuss everything 1911

so GGE, post up what your favorite / ideal one would be.

as well as 1911's that you have or may have your eyes set on or just find interesting or unique.

this coming new year that approaches will make it 100 years since this special pistol's adoption into the US.mil

I'd love to get an original Colt M1911, but I'd be just as happy to get a Springfield or S&W model as well. Hell, I'd settle for any M1911 model, so long as it's not that ******** DEagle-brand M1911. I refuse to buy anything Magnum Research has sullied.

I wasnt even aware that magnum research built one o.o

<******** yeah Dan Wesson. Also, you missed Taurus. I've seen good things done with their 1911's also:



Personally, I'd never buy a Nighthawk. I mean, ******** seriously, what justifies a Nighthawk being a $3000 gun when Kimber sits comfortably on the $1000 mark?

"DEagle brand 1911" spawned "DEagle brand DEagle".

looks like a gag poster.

I watched some vids of them and saw a review just now.

they seem like a decent pistol for the money.

meh, its kind of hit and miss with taurus.

you might get one that works awesome in every aspect, and another guy might get one that's jacked up. ejection problems,sight issues,etc it can be a good range gun im sure, but not anything I'd trust my life to

if you have one that happens to be a good example from the factory then by all means, carry that sucker.

L.A.R. Grizzly Mk 1 Long Slide in .357 Magnum that's my dream 1911.

A weak enough cartridge to where I don't have to change the return spring every 1000 rounds.

Why not a Para in .38 Super? It's easily a more effective round (bridging the .38/.357 gap), and it's one actually made to be used in an autopistol.

Price. For that kind of price, get a Kimber and regret nothing.

Also, Remington has a new 1911, and given Remington's history of Colt copies, I'm enthusiastic. And for $700, I think it's a pretty good deal.

price of the S&W is pretty standard for most 1911's

probably would go with kimber due to their reputation

Really now. You're going to combat a .38 Super to a .357 Magnum?

Notice my longslide statement and then look at the .357 magnum statement in my post. Why do you think I picked it out?

Seriously you think a .38 super longslide compares to a .357 magnum longslide?

if we're going to get into other than .45 caliber 1911's I'd opt for a 10mm Kimber eclipse or dan wesson razorback

hit em with the centimeter shooter

though I dont see whats really wrong with .45acp. plenty of killing potential without too much risk of overpenetrating
