Hard for me to relate to the reported 1911 problems.

Confidence. I shoot the 1911 better than anything else. Considerably better.

One trip to the range.

It's not. Call Wilson. I have literally never had a problem since I switched to Wilson 47Ds. And that's shooting large volume in competition.

I get the disdain for cheap guns - I won't buy them either. Hard to believe the hate for some of the others. Perhaps ya'll are just a bunch of limp-wristed ninnies that shouldn't be firing real weapons. ;-)

Mine was the gift I asked for HS graduation, a very nice Browning BPS. it fit me well, I shot it beautifully - but it jammed way too often. My diagnosis was that the chamber was slightly too big and brass sometimes expanded upon firing and stuck, and I mean STUCK in the chamber. The final...

Some of my favorite hunting memories were as a high school student running for the hills after school with just my bow and knife - hunted in my socks. Learned a ton and loved it.

Will be buying a 19 and 23 shortly - will want to outfit the 23 with good night sights. Thoughts?

.65" is about the best I can wring out of my stock action and barrel.

Yup. I had a fancy finish BPS and tossed it in the river when it jammed when I had a great chance to triple on canada geese. Nothing but Wingmasters and Benellis in my safe now.

I have a Savage with bull barrel and thumb hole stock and it is the bomb diggity. Even with the crappy combo scope (Cabela's package), it will hit a dime at 100 yards easily. The Accu-Trigger took some getting used to, but I love it now.

My oldest boy is nearly 17 and handles a 1911 just fine. He wants a Glock though - he has much to learn. My daughters shoot too, though just .22s at this point.

Heck - I prefer the 1911 - it's what I carry. I thought a Glock would be easier to teach to possible neophyte sons-in-law. Plus - it's tough to find a good 1911 for 5 bills.

I will be buying either Glock 17/19 or 22/23 for my sons and future sons in law for general personal defense. I want to have them in hand in case they are not available when they come of age. I will also be buying a 23 for myself - my first Glock. What do you recommend for my boys and...

Lost my cherished red bone a few months ago. He was hell on coons and house cats.
