what do you think? would this be a good fun gun for steel ?

[blksheep 466]

Sure, 45 can get pricey though unless you reload.

[Steve_G 51]

I think that would be a good gun for many things. Steel? Maybe not. If that's all you plan to do, go with a 9mm or even a .22 to keep the ammo costs down. Going through 150 - 200 rounds of .45 stings the wallet a little.

 

Very nice though!

[reed338 11]

yes i will reload so that wont be a problem with ammo .

Heck Bob, you reload and that's a nice 6" 1911. Be good for USPSA also, so when you getting it??

[NickC 23]

DO IT!

But you realize that'll make you part of the "Rich Kid" gun club.

just want to check to see if i was making a bad decision or not . but as for when it will take at least 2 months i guess if i go this route .

i dont have a problem with that rick kid gun club i kind of like it.

It's a fun gun for steel but overkill IMHO. Go with a 9mm or .40 cal to cut costs almost in half.

 

However I shoot 3-4 matches a month so it adds up quickly. If I could afford to shoot 45 every time I would.

 

Let your ammo budget decide. Guns are cheap, ammo is expensive.

i will reload and cast my bullets so the ammo really wont be a big cost .but is the gun an ok or good gun ?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Bob, minor loads and your own cast bullets and you're probably going to load .45 for less than I do for .40, and by quite a bit.

[raz-0 1,259]

.45 plus steel isn't usually the recommended formula. For a 1911, a 9mm with lighter loads will play the game much better. With .45, by the time you slow down the bullet enough to cut recoil to anything near the 9mm in a 1911 level, you risk intact bullets bouncing back at you. At least static steel. Knockdown steel is a different matter. A lighter .45 bullet loaded on the light end of the scale, in a 5" gun transitions pretyt nicely, has decent recoil, and will definitely still knock stuff down.

Bob,

 

You know your snobby 1911 is not going to want to sit in the same safe as your Hi-Point.

[alec.mc 180]

Go with a 9mm Bob, That way I steal more of your used brass.

 

Love,

Alec

[blksheep 466]

9mm is usually better but I have heard good things about .40 too.

[alec.mc 180]

True, From what I've seen. 9mm and 40 are the most popular for centerfire divisions.

[Sivl32 27]

I shot my .45 for steel once.... that was the last time lol

[zoid 24]

I use 45 for steel all the time. Just load it light and you'd be surprised how well it performs.

Nothing beats a 9mm though. Eventually I want a 9mm 1911 dedicated for steel.

[blksheep 466]

I bought my Glock 34 just for games

[Mikeythumbs 1]

I shoot tmj hardball for steel and being it is my hd gun I like. If does get expensive but I don't reload yet and even when I do reload I think once every couple of matches I will shoot the hardball just to stay in pratice . I consider gun games fun but also prep with my hd gun. Ps I also usually shoot the .22 iron division not that is just fun . Nice gun I think you will like it

[Steve_G 51]

Very nice, Bob. When are you bringing her out, first or third Sunday in August?

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I have almost the same gun Bob. Mine isn't the Target version, but looks almost identical. After shooting it back to back with my 625 revolver, I shoot the revolver instead. Why? Because the 1911 is so nice looking and I want it to stay that way! The revolver is simply a good tool but isn't pretty so I beat on her a lot!

[LorenzoS 100]

For steel I think you'll want a 9mm 1911 rather than .45 ACP. Its cheaper and some ranges have an issue with larger calibers damaging the steel targets. A 9mm 1911 is also incredibly pleasant and fun to shoot.

He is casting his own bullets and reloading, cost is not a factor. Also, Old Bridge has no issue with .45 at the steel matches.

I understand but this thing will get run through its paces and it better perform . for what u pay for theese guns it should last a life time. my cheap hi points have worked well past my expetations and continue to keep shooting . 1/3 of the time i cant hit shit but the gun still works . i expect the same from this one . we will see

[reed338 11]
