1911 Rail or no Rail???

I had one on my Sig229R DAK. I wanted a Sig without a rail but no on e had them at the time. Love them on the POLYMER guns, just not on steel for some reason.

I was going to say the same thing! LOL... I can't tell any difference whatsoever in the weight of my railed 1911 and a non railed one.

you know, I do. :-) I think it's the weight distribution. Longer barrels seem less managable than shorter barrels weighing about the same....after an hour of shooting almost non stop. Man, it's like lifting weights at the gym! With bullets, those things must weight like 3 pounds!

 

Anyways, rails are for trains :-)

Different strokes for different folks... and it's merely opinion and personal preference. If 1 or 2 ounces extra make your arms hurt, you probably need to hit the gym or eat your wheaties.

Well, when you lean forward shooting, you really feel all the weight on the arms & shoulders. I usually shoot over a couple hundred rounds each time I go to the range. OK OK I need to eat wheaties. LOL

I was just busting your chops... LOL... glad to see you took it in jest :-)

I like the rail for accessories attachment but hard to find for a holster

I used to hate rails but have grown fond of them now...

taste changes over time

Just got another rail gun yesterday. Colt rail gun full house custom by Jim Garthwaite. Pics to follow once she is signed out and legal in about 30 days.
