Title: Picked Up My First 1911
Post by: vmkeith on June 23, 2011, 03:12:34 AM: Picked up my first 1911 Wed morning...a Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical .45 ACP. All I've managed to due is field strip and look her over. I can honestly say I have no complaints what so ever. Unfortunately, I won't have the time to take her out until next week at the earliest...but I'm oh so looking forward to it.

:yeah: Now that's funny

That's a nice looking handgun, I still havent bought a 1911 yet. I have looked at a lot over the years and shot many as well but still havent done it. I like my xdm to much 8)

You do not like the pistol because your small child size hands cannot grip it. LOL!!! :chuckle:

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on June 23, 2011, 10:59:08 PM: Although I am not a large person, I don't have child size hands. I just don't like any 'plastic' gun. I especially don't like Glock triggers, the square shape of the slide, the fact that I can't shoot lead bullets through one without changing the barrel, and certainly don't like the thought of unsupported cases/chambers.

I am not a Glock espert, and there might be something I could learn about them that I 'might' like, but the other things that I do know about them, and having shot several over the years, I just don't like'm.

I love 1911's and .. Yeah, even certain revolvers.
