Agreed
I couldn’t tell a ton of difference from the Ed Browns, but the Nighthawk I handled was very smooth and had a little better trigger. But I don’t know that it would matter $1000 to $2000 differently in price to me.
I’m not a competitive bullseye shooter so whatever accuracy difference there is with me shooting a DW PM 7 or PM 45 against an Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, etc., would be lost on me personally but I’m only speaking on my own behalf.
Maybe in a side by side shooting comparison I’d notice the difference. I have no doubt a serious 1911 fan could point out all the reasons why the more expensive guns are better.
I don’t know that there would be much of a difference. I know a guy with a Wilson Combat Supergrade 1911 which is a beautiful pistol, my guess is it cost at least $5K. I can’t say that it’s worth what it probably cost, but I know I wouldn’t or couldn’t pay it. But standing inside a barn the guy can’t hit the broad side with it. An expensive pistol gives you bragging rights, but It really is the Indian, not the Bow & Arrow
