Double stack 1911?

[JetGirl]

I knew this post would pull ya in! I think I am gonna shy away from a double stack or 2011 whatever term you prefer.. One of the main reasons I have 1911s is because I hate fat grips!!!

You have no idea what you have done.... You've totally screwed with the space time continuum with all that "double stack 1911" nonsense. The Colt gods are angry, the minions are moving... and someone has to pay.


Well... Nice knowin' ya kid.













P.S.

Yeah, you really gotta get that name redirect thing fixed. I can't PM my new cool grips pics to you...

 

[jmb79]

I guess the same goes for anything other than Colt, right?

Fair enough.

I had the Springfield G.I. in a double stack. You don't see them too often.

Very plain gun, almost spartan. It was fun to shoot, but heavy as heck! When I purchased it new, it only had one mag, which blows, but I found the Para.12 mags worked just as well...........

Traded it in on a Smith revolver, if memory serves...........

Yeah, I know of one. Glock makes a great double stack .45!

....Oh, you said 1911. Oops. Seriously though, a coworker of mine was in love with his Para Ordnance P14. Experts on the 1911 market will have to guide you as I am not familiar with all the shops making double stacks. I'm about to get negative repped I'm sure but go to a gun range and rent a Glock 30 or 21, just to see what things are like on the dark side.
A low bore axis works wonders for felt recoil on large caliber handguns. If you don't like the grip angle then the M&P 45 might have what you are seeking as well. Think about it- polymer... light weight... low bore axis... high capacity... reliability at least equal to a 1911... no hammer or thumb safety to fiddle with under stress... what's not to love?

Para Limited 14.45 and the Limited 16.40 are great pistols. I really enjoy them. After waiting months for a custom shop springfield target pistol, it came in the same week I bought the Para. With every brand of ammo in the shop, the Para shot the same very tight groups as the Springfield. Pretty impressive for a production pistol to be as good as a custom shop pistol (that was very good).

Swing past the 1911 case when you're in. A few have been sold, but we still have more Colts than we've had in a LONG dang time.

They need friends. Lucky for you, I happen to know a few...

I will do that Saturday and see if there ain't one in there that needs to come home with me..

Only double stack 1911 I have is a RIA 22TCM/9MM. Great pistol and doesn't feel as ungainly as some of the other double stacks I've coonfingered, probably because it's a 9MM.
The 22 TCM is a great idea and I"m surprised the pistols aren't harder to get.

Want to sell it? That has been incredably hard for me to get, I can't find one anywhere?!?!

 

[SERparacord]

Buy American.

 

[palerider0485]

wilson made a kz 45 with holds ten rounds in the mag and isnt any wider then the standard 1911, its polymer, alot of space is wasted with the frame and grips on a standard 1911, i like double stack, wish they were all double stack.

I have a colt 1911 70s series slide target barrel and upgraded a couple of the insides then put it on a p14 frame shoots great but the grips are not for the small handed crowd.

That's a very interesting gun, may have to take a look at one. Thanks for posting.

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.

My son can ring steel at 100 yds. with my P-14 Limited. I can on occasion but his eyes are better. This gun is one of the best "Shooters" I own and I own many 1911's.
