Thinking about a 1911

QFT!

You're an enabler aren't you? LOL!

I've never owned one. Shot one once for military qualification many years ago. One of those genuine US GI models. If felt good in my hand and I couldn't seem to miss the pop up targets.

I already own a couple of polymer handguns in 45 ACP. A Shield and an XDm 3.8 Compact. When I came across this Springfield Ronin Operator it really caught my eye.

I've found some online for $700-$759, but alas, not in stock. Is there another comparable model or brand in that price range that I should be looking at and comparing? I really like the looks of the Ruger SR1911 too. Or is this one worth waiting for?

I have a Iver Johnson Eagle XL, Long Slide in 10mm. And it shoots fantastic, I love it. Not to high priced either.

I say go for the SA 1911 if you like it. I would like to add some more 1911s to my collection. I really want a Dan Wesson Valor! I would also like a Ruger railed 1911 as well. A nice SA would be an option for me as well.

So is this what we will see in the classifieds when you reach 25? Or was necroing a thread a legitimate mistake?

Real men shoot Glocks.

GET A ROPE...

To each their own, but I'd never own a 1911 with a rail on it. Just don't belong IMO.

Okay....so we have now established that:

A) You shoot glocks
B) You're gender confused

Snagged a DW Valkyrie earlier this year when they were being "firesaled" on GB for $1030, NIB. Doubt I'll ever see that kinda deal again.....like it enough that the grandson bought one, as well. Soon as I get this new truck paid off, I'm gonna get back to work on bustin' 100 1911's in the collection.....and ain't one of 'em got a rail.

You’re drunk. Go back to sleep. You’re raving.

 

[Army 1911]

That is correct. Real men shoot them with their 1911.

Sure I'll shoot your Glock. Hang it up with the other targets.

You ain't seen nothin' yet......be the guy that tells me 1911's are being discontinued.....
