Dan Wesson would be a proper 1911. I have given them up regardless of make. A used P220 is all I need at the moment. I have too much loaded .45 ACP and lots of brass, about 4,800 primers and enough bullets to make 750. I had three Colts. All were series 80. Two of the milspec and a gold cup. I liked the basic ones but I regret buying the gold cup.
Just taking an informal poll. Best handgun design: 1911, Hi Power, Sig P226, Beretta 92 or Glock?
I'm not sure I'd call a stripper clip loaded pistol a practical design by 1911. Interesting? Yes. Practical? Not so much.The 1911 Steyr-Hahn was a well-engineered piece in a serious caliber with superb build quality, but today it is of historic interest only. Note that it remained in production through the end of WW2 for the Wehrmacht in 9x19mm, so it really was a practical design.
1911 and it's offshoots like the BHP. There are obviously many good designs- like the Ruger revolvers.. but the 1911 et al get my vote.Just taking an informal poll. Best handgun design: 1911, Hi Power, Sig P226, Beretta 92 or Glock?
I took that pic last year at the military museum at Puerta Princessa , Palawan, Phillipines. It is a chopped trap door SpringfieldDagnabbit I can't bring the label into focus. What does it say? Straight off the res, would be my guess...
