Dear All,
I am interested in getting a high-capacity double stack 1911 (yes I know this is technically not a 1911 but you get my point). I already have other 45s in alloy, steel, plastic, high cap, traditional 1911 format. I am not looking for it to be a target pistol. If it shot 4” at 20 yards that would be fine. The majority of the use will be social plinking at the range. It may replace my travel companion firearm and also eventually serve as the back-up home defense weapon (carry it around house/shoot my way back to the long arm).
Do any of you have hands on experience (good or bad) with any of the double stack 1911’s? I know Springfield has a high cap GI model (13+1) and Para Ordinance has a 14+1 model. There are some others as well. Again, I’ve got plenty of other 45s so I’m not looking for advice on plastic vs steel, etc. I really would appreciate any advice you have on the high cap 1911s.
Many thanks.
