Why not? Give it a try. If you decide that you don't like it, all you will lose is money. I personally would opt for either the more useful HK45C or the M&P45C, but the fullsize versions are nice as well. It really comes down to whether you want a striker or a hammer. I personally like...

The different models have different grips, so if one doesn't work out for you - don't assume that none of them will. The Glock 19 finger groove spacing fits my hands perfectly - as does the G26 and G30. Those are my prefered models. The full sized grips, G17/34/22/35 etc, have more space...

I would suggest straight Trijicons or Warrent Tacticals for a 3 dot sight system. I would suggest Heinies for a 2 dot sight system. I would suggest 10-8s or Warren Tacticals for a 1 dot sight system. --- I personally would go with either the Warren Tacticals or the 10-8s.

Congratulations Sir! I love mine. I've had 500 trouble free rounds so far - all through DW mags.

Take a look at Para Ordnance's double stack 1911s. A used one would fit your criteria perfectly. And as for Para reliability, watch this video series: http://www.downrange.tv/show1/index.htm

People who can afford high end sidearms and have the desire to carry them should. It isn't like we are going to take our money with us after we die. Too many people take too many things personal. I'm currently a college student, so I can't afford a Wilson or a Baer just yet. I own a G19 that...

What would we choose for what? What is the intended purpose of the gun manufacturers in question? For concealed carry I personally like in order: G19/23 M&P9c/40c G26/27 Walther P99/c HK P30 SIG P250 HK P2000/sk Walther PPS Ruger SR9 XD9 For range/competition fun I...

For 5" Government model - Everything that the Springfield Custom Professional has - but in Ion Bond DLC. For CCW - Ed Brown style Commander bobtailed please.

It almost sounds like you want someone to say something negative about them. The only complaints that someone could make is that they do not personally like the grip angle or that they personally feel like the safe action trigger isn't safe. Some could say that they are ugly, and others could...

Considering your criteria, most of the responses will be either Colt or Dan Wesson. Both are great manufacturers. Do a couple thorough searches on both makes and models. I had the same criteria a few months ago and went with the Dan Wesson commander bobtail.

As said by others: Domestic: G19 followed by G23. LE: G22 International sales: G17

It would make little sense to me to carry a 1911 in any other way than C&L. The 1911 was made to be carried in this way. Carrying it in any other way than C&L would make as much sense as carrying a striker-fired handgun without a round chambered. Strikers and DA/SA pistols are meant to be...

Dan Wesson Cbob .45 - just got it yesterday!

Happy Owner Well I don't have pictures yet, but I just returned from my first range time with my new DW CBOB .45. This is my first personally owned 1911, and I am very impressed. Excellent quality piece and very nice, light trigger. My first couple shots strings were a bit off due to my jerking...
