45 Auto Suggestions

[cyclesarge]

All those .45 and no 1911? seems obvious to me. Get a nice Kimber or Colt.

The P90 Ruger is smooooth. and if you run out of ammo you can throw it and kill a bear.

What is on the middle barrel? Recoil/compensator?

Springfield 1911 Loaded Champion (4").

Springfield has been making 1911's since, well, 1911.

 

[Gunner3456]

Actually, the manufacturer of those pistols, Springfield Armory Inc., is a commercial company established in 1974 that has no relationship to the original Springfield Armory. The original Springfield Armory that made weapons (including 1911 pistols) for the US military was closed in 1968.

+1. I think everyone knows that. I need to learn to put more emoticons with my smart alec remarks to be sure people know that's what I'm doing.

I do want a 4" Springfield 1911 Loaded Champion though.

Hi-point .45?

On second thought, I wouldn't wish a hi-point on anybody...

Where's the Tommy Gun?

 

[orygun]

Step up to a Hi-cap 1911 pattern. Stay away from Para, but look into STI or SVI. Can't go wrong.

I don't understand all of the Para Ordnance bashing. Had one for years and it was a great gun.

+1 on the Tommy Gun!

You have a good collection there, however; IMO you are missing a very basic firearm!

You don't have a "barbeque" gun! May I suggest the finest 1911 production gun... the Dan Wesson line! Get an '09 before the prices for the '10s come out. Doesn't matter which one, Razorback, Pointman, Patriot, Valor...You will then be close to having a great collection. It will be your go to favorite!

What? No Glock 21? It is now 2010, not 1911. Forget about buying any others until you purchase the Glock.

I have to agree. Although my carry is now a DW, my glock is a must have in any collection. Affordable too, I might add.

I have a G21. It's kinda big for my hands.

Would love a Norinco 1911 to add to my stable. I posted in the WTB section but still have not had any replies.

I see them on Gunbroker, but would prefer to keep my money in the local economy considering it's already a Chinese gun.

I looked at a new Colt at a local shop and it had the dreaded "off-center spring tunnel".

 

[sliverflinger]

Everyone has a first post.So here's mine. The Colt should be tops on the list. How can you fault a design that basic and bullet proof? I have several in various models and calibers. That being said, my new love is a Para 12/45 LDA. Great gun and if wasn't so damn heavy it would be ideal.

Sliverfinger, I like the 1911 but like you say, to darn heavy. I did see a plastic model of a 1911 that had all the parts, and functioned correctly, now if you put a real steel barrel in there............Spad
