Favorite 1911

Recommended Posts

Springfield TRP is my favorite 1911 that I've ever owned.  If I had cash to burn on another 1911, it'd most likely be a Dan Wesson Valor w/ duty treat.

 

If I hit the lotto I'd buy a Wilson Combat supergrade in a heart beat

My H&K USP .45 and my H&K Mark23, sorry I can't pick between them, they are both awesome.

As much ad I'm an HK fan, he said 1911s dude. [emoji6]

Aren't both of these firearms based primarily on the 1911 design? I thought "1911" was just a design criteria.

Nah, not letting you slide on this one. Apples and oranges.

Neither of these would fit that criteria.

My favorite is still my 1st -- Colt Combat elite in .45 acp -- bought it the day after I turned 21 back in 1990 -- it took less than 24 hours for a pistol permit back then

 

This gun has seen at least 10,000 rounds...

 

My newest, just purchased a couple months ago, is a Dan Wesson Specialist in 9mm -- I only have 300 rounds downrange but this one could prove to be pretty awesome too -- time will tell

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
