Choices Sig or 1911

[rennocneb]

does anything feel better in the hand than a good 1911?

Yes, but rules keep me from stating them

What he said ^^^^

Aw gee man.....you know. You really do.....

Get a 1911.....just do it.
And not a sig 1911-ish either.

I don't know CM, those serrations are not vertical. REAL 1911s have vertical slide serrations and a grip safety designed to remove chunks of skin.

Well....obviously I cheated as that is a Fusion custom build. But the overall factor is there.


Nice catch...

If you are going to argue against a Sig 1911, that is the pistol to do it with. It's a drop-dead gorgeous example of what a 1911 can be.

If you buy any Sig you'll probably sell all your other handguns and buy more Sigs. Best factory made handgun available. You could buy a Sig 1911 and have both.

Well I went with the 1911! Get it Monday. Yes it's a 9 but I have a feeling it won't be my last 1911!

Which one...???

Sorry been busy,
i went with the Ruger 1911 Lightweight 9mm Model 6722.
Ruger® SR1911® * Centerfire Pistol Model 6722
Hope to get to the range tomorrow. Love how it feels in the hand so far!

Thanks for all of the input!

Good choice. I've handled that one several times and its a nice one. Look forward to a range report.

Great so you could have walked into a gun shop in 1911 and walked out with same pistol.
How retro I starting to believe 1911 guys are hipsters !

I read on another forum that a guy just bought a Sig 1911 Tacops in 10mm....

I am waiting to see what kind of chamber support they have, then ...

I didn't realize that Sig was making a 10mm 1911. That could be quite interesting if they did it right.

Absolutely LOVE mine. If you haven't shot a 1911 in 9mm yet, you really should, it's a hoot! Definitely want to hear a range report. I found the 10# factory recoil spring made the slide feel "lazy" when cycling. I swapped it for a 14# commander recoil spring, and problem solved, it runs even better than it did out of the box.

I think you'll be very, very happy with your decision.

I've heard a few horror stories about Ruger 1911 lightweight commanders, I believe I saw one on here as well, and because of those I won't go there.

What have you heard? I have looked at them and considered one myself...
