I love 1911's....

[fromotoc]

I love em. They are so simple, so effective and just great shooters. The ammo for them is pretty expensive, but the joy of shooting them is so great... Steel guns just feel better than plastic ones. And I, for some reason, am much more accurate with a steel gun than a plastic one, kind of weird. Man, I love my 1911's. Who else loves 1911's?

I am well known to have 1911 fever!

 

[RockKrawler]

For someone who keeps posting them for sale,you have a strange way of showing affection

 

[frizzz]

I have the 1911 fever but no 1911 yet. I've been fingering them for the last couple of weeks at the gun stores.
That Kimber Team USA looks good.

i'm definately forming a bond with my new norinco 1911a1. not a hickup in about 500 rounds.

I have 1911 fever and I don't even own one. . . yet

 

[PhysicsGuy]

Yeah they are my #1 favorite pistol pattern. I have three, hoping to get some more soon.

 

[Sun195]

Definitely close to the top of my "to get" list.

Everyone needs a 1911, at least one. I just broke up the twins now theres an empty bunk in the safe

 

[Aristotle13]

I have a "thing" for em myself...

 

[BigDaddyP]

Yeah I have the fever....and there is no cure!
The only way to soothe it is more 1911. :love::love::love:
Here is my newest...I picked it up a couple of months ago and I absolutely love it.
Functions flawlessly with all types of ammo and is very acurate.
Springfield 1911-A1 Loaded in Stainless...

WOW. Where did you get the compensater and that interesting trigger?

 

[Aristotle13]

The comp is a Bedell 7 port progressive, and the triggers are both SVI, one is the small curve, and the other is an Infinity with Benos insert. The real magic are in the parts you don't see. ;-)

 

[Abe Froman]

Me and my SA loaded are having insecurity issues at thte moment. I need to freshin it up a bit. Im not a gunsmith by any means, so i think I will start with what I can do

 

[coctailer]

I waited around for the USPS to deliver my new 1911.............no show

 

[caliber bob]

It is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

 

[aslinged]

Is the reason you're more accurate with a steel gun due to the weight? I've heard that some cops complain about Glocks after the second shot because its tougher to keep the lighter poly frame on target post recoil? Makes sense but ****, I wouldn't know.

Recoil is different, but not "my" reason why I prefer or shoot better with my 1911's.

Recoil control is just a matter of practice and technique. My splits with a Poly pistol is just as good as with my 1911's. Why I prefer my 1911's over my poly has to do with natural aim, I can point a 1911 more naturally. Familiarity, controls and lastly because I am able to tune them more to my liking for competitive shooting.
