Alright as the title suggests, my personal knowledge on the 1911 platform is very little but I'm starting to get itchy and want one.
There's a few requirements I have and I'm hoping the hive mind here at NWF's can help expand my already limited knowledge
Requirements:
- Has to be .45 ACP
- Would very much like it to be double stack
- Would very much like it to be suppressor friendly (Tall sights + Threaded barrel)
- Not over 1.2k MSRP
A few quick google searches quickly recommend companies below but I'm not all too convinced. Either some horror story I've heard about QC or customer service has me a bit shy. This isn't a bash comment. If you own any products from the company below, feel free to show your opinion. May change mine.
- Remington - 1911 R1 Enhanced Double Stack (Threaded Barrel + Tall sights)
- Armscor - GI Standard FS Threaded - 45 ACP (Threaded Barrel Only)
One manufacture that's got me pretty interested is Para USA. I know they've been purchased by Remington but how's the quality control on the older models? Are the newer models the same as Remington's? Specifically I'm looking at PARA: Black Ops Combat. This appears to fit the bill of being double stack 45, and very suppressor friendly.
I guess my question is, what other manufactures out there that make a double stack 45 while being suppressor friendly?
Thanks for the help!
