I know personal tastes vary, and function isn't the only consideration. hell, I shoot lever guns, so who am I to talk? But I just don't see why people want 1911s. a 7+1 semi auto .45acp? you can get a s&w 627pc, an 8 round .357mag with a 5" barrel, for the same or likely less money than a decent 1911. same ammo capacity, higher powered cartridge, and the reliability and ease of maintenance that comes with a revolver. seems like a no brainer to me.
Heres why.....lever guns are boring and ugly. Of course they are not either but you can be a lever gun, revolver, muzzy guy and it just works for you. I very much like the 1911....to me it's a work of art....I'm not a huge revolver guy. We like what we like.
Hits count, not shots.
I've heard it said that Les Baer, Kimber and Dan Wesson are among the more accurate 1911's.
I had a Les Baer AR in 204. It was insanely accurate.
Who has one and how do you like it? Pros and cons. Looking at getting a new pistol andhave heard these are nice ones!
How bout 10mm? Is there a 1911 in 10mm or just go Glock?
Because everyone has their own taste and likings. 1911’s are classic, works of art and full of history. Same can be said of bolt guns, lever guns Ar’s...etc. I’m a LEO and carry a Springfield TRP operator. I’ve carried a 1911 for 15yrs of my 20yr career. Yes, 1911’s are 7 or 8+1. Hits count, not shots. carry more mags, master your weapon and you will be fine. My2¢
There are several 10mm 1911 options, but i dont think any are cheap. If i was in the market for a 10mm, id be taking a good look st the xdm.
