Rifleman1 32 Posted March 3, 2012 Glock 21 Gen4 is my 1911 I agree. Can't finance both. The G21 shoots just fine... http://theprepared.com/content/view/90//administrator/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_G 51 Posted March 3, 2012 just picked up the fnh fnp45 tonight, trigger is SO OOO SMOOTH! she is very light for a large gun, and you can run her cocked and locked like a 1911. oh yeah and 15 rounds of 45! Wait until you shoot it. I shot 15 rounds out of it and thought I missed the whole target. All 15 were in the black bullseye, I couldn't see the holes from the line 10 yds away.

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted March 5, 2012 Nah, they were only used through two world wars, Korea and Viet Nam - no mud draggin' there. Depends on which 1911, just as it does with any gun. I DO not find it to be a drag through the mud weapon, not that it CANT do it, but just that you SHOULDN'T! You wouldn't drag your purdy girl through the mud, so why your 1911?

david8613 69 Posted March 5, 2012 that's true! LOL... it's funny that it's actually shorter than my XD45 tactical! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rifleman1 32 Posted March 7, 2012 I'm looking for a full size, reliable, drag through the mud, work horse of a .45. I have had my eye on the Ruger SR1911 and the Ruger Exclusive SR1911. Anyone know anything about these? Also, what are some of your favorites that would fit into my criteria and maybe some suggestions of how to narrow my search down? Price- UNDER $1k Thanks, Bip You can drag these through the mud... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colnar 0 Posted March 25, 2012 On Rugerforum.net the SR1911 have really good reviews from those that have them. The major is with them is availability. Seems Ruger is really behind on SR1911 production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS1200XL 4 Posted March 25, 2012 Saw a Remington R1 tonight, nice 1911 for $700. Might be worth it to check one out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DargZ 5 Posted March 25, 2012 Hope that was not at Bullseye as I just saw someone walk in and buy it. The guy really wanted a 1911 and grabbed the last one. If I owned a gun store, putting a 1911 in a display case seems to be a no brainer as they never last. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted March 25, 2012 Remington r1 is a nice gun. Its my next 1911 Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm picking up my P2P this week and the R1 has thrown me a curve. I was set on a Kimber Stainless TLE, but for $700 the R1 was really nice. My other thing is hoping to get lucky and find an SR1911.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DargZ 5 Posted March 26, 2012 BlueLineFish mentioned that Caso is going to have a Ruger. I'm not sure if they go it yet (or if it is still there). You can always put a deposit down. I stopped by Caso a few weeks back and Lisa told me they had a bunch of 1911s in the morning but most of them were sold by the time I got there around 3pm that day.

Bully 749 Posted April 1, 2012 Rock Island Armory 1911. Good, cheap, reliable. Not U.S. made. Or, a Kimber. Great guns. Don't believe the hype. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midwest 28 Posted April 2, 2012 I better not mention that I have the Hi Point 45 acp. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigman 41 Posted April 2, 2012 I saw a Remington R1 in Meltzers the other day and a few other sweet 45's including a Colt and a Sig C3. I really liked the Sig. They don't have a huge selection, but I always see a gun I really like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted May 21, 2012 It's very close to a GRAND but I would only get a COLT .45 if I ever get a .45. Just my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarryLee 0 Posted May 21, 2012 FNP45? Get the OD one w/o threaded barrel. 15 rounds for a 45? hammer? It's a FN, bro! what more can you ask for? if you don't like plastic, get the sig 220. easier to take apart than the 1911. put a 10 round badboy mag in there n u r ready 2 roc n roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeythumbs 1 Posted May 24, 2012 I bought the springfield Range officer for 825. Full steel frame 40 oz's so not a light gun but i love the feel in my hand. Adjustable rear sight came with 2 mags a mag pouch and a holster if you are going to get in gun games its a few less things you have to buy.got about 400 rounds through it and it has been running great the only problem i have is a bought an extra mag (kimber) and it FTE' on the last round with that mag every time. P.S. for you 1911 guys is there anything i can do to fix that magazine i understand that you can sometimes adjust the follower.i hate to not use a 28 dollar mag but it is just annoying i could keep it the same and use it as a training mag to learn to clear misfires if all else fails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odin 1 Posted May 28, 2012 Shot my new m&p 45 yesterday and didn't like the trigger. I hear there are upgrades and I will be investigating my options. However, the fnp 45 was sweet as ever, love that gun. Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHY_Veritas 0 Posted May 28, 2012 got an xd45 tactical in od green, very nice, very underated, and very affordable.... its a good dependable gun... ill be picking up an fnp 45 soon, and thought about selling the xd45 cant do it, its too nice... I have to agree. The XD.45 is a beautiful gun. It fits your hand like a glove. I've shot several .45 in the past but this one takes the cake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 29, 2012 We need to have a range officer get together! man is that one sweet shooting .45, all my friends love shooting her more then anything else. My wallet not so much!
