Double stack 1911?

[EPD1102]

If it's double stack then it's not a 1911. Same goes for LDA triggers and calibers other than .45 acp.

And a fuel-injected Harley isn't a Harley since the originals had carburetors.
( Sorry. I forgot to add that I was being sarcastic.)

There are almost always a few on Gunbroker, and the new models should be coming out in the next few months. I like my TCM, I also have a Rock Island double stack in .45 and there is a night and day difference in shooting the two. For a double stack 1911 in .45 I wouldn't have any problem recommending a Rock Island, mine has been a very good gun. I wish I could say the same for my Para P12, about which it has become obvious that the P stands for paperweight.

I tried a G21 and got rid of it. Good gun, but like wearing a good pair of shoes that don't fit. Tried Springfields, but they never did it for me either, might look into an M&P, limited capacity but I like the feel better than the other polys.

Our P-12 has been a wonderful gun. Tack driver, eats anything and has ran thousands of rounds.
We just let AllenM doe a 2 tone ceracoat and trigger group on it. The trigger was getting a bit mushy from years of being used. EDC for my son.

I had an older Para P13 as well. Commander size 1911 with double stack mag. Nice gun, but I found it was a bit heavy and hard to CC with that wide grip.

bought a Springfield milspec Hi-cap some years back for a run at limited with 45acp, beavertail, better sights, trigger job to 2.5 lbs, a magazine well bit enought to swallow a whale. Par-ord magazines. Only problem came was with magazine ext. to 18 rns, multiple springs and feed lips to find the right combo, yea the grips are wider but with hamhock hand like mine it was not a bad fit. I still consider it a 1911 wide body or not. just my

Have shot one. Compared to my Para's I would say pass on it. Had some Jamb-O-matic issues with the one I shot. Have not heard much else about them.

If you are budget limited I would save a bit more and go for a Para or other offering over the RIA

That's what she said On a side note though I have one of the Wilson KZ-45's and I find it quite comfortable even with my smaller hands. Oh yeah, did I mention its a Wilson...

I have a LLAMA 45 acp double stack that rates about a 5 on a 10 scale for me. It tends to be fussy about FTF and FTE unless a lot of attention is given it in th loading process.

I also have two PARA's a 16-40 Limited and a 14-40 compact. Both are outstanding shooters (40 S&W)
Here they are, That's a Single-stack PARA 45 acp in the middle.
