I like em both. They both have a lot of great features (match barrel, ect) the nightmare just looks bad ass. The colt I'd change the grips. I could save a few hundred and get an s&w but I don't think I'd be happy until I bought the one I wanted.

Wilson Combat is having a pretty good sale on the 47D and ETM mags right now, would be a good time to pick some up if you're definitely getting a 1911.

A couple of my distributors carry their mags. I'll be adding em to my next order

DON'T buy one that your are not totally set on or.... buy your second choice now and then get your first choice down the road. You cannot go wrong with your choices, Sig external ejector or Colt internal. I think you really need one of each. I have the Sig and I thing my next 1911 will be the Colt rail gun. I want a 2011 first though!!!! Good luck and don't settle...Get what you really want!!!

Shawn, if you're set on a railed 1911, have you looked at the TRP?

I'm debating on that 2011

2011 for the win!

I don't want that to shoot though

Held em both

 

Bought the colt

 

 

 

I like it.

Good choice. How much?

$1000

 

And I got a hat!

 

 

 

Welcome to the world of 1911's. I need to get me another one.

 

Watch you don't do "idiot scratch"

 

if your worried you can make one of these from a plastic playing card

Youre not a real 1911 owner till you have an idiot scratch.

BTW good choice on the colt.

I was gonna suggest the S&W 1911 Performance series. 

 

The Sig's are nice though. I like the Scorpion.

plus 1 on the 2011.

Nice Sean. Congrats.

Well done Shawn. I am jealous. If you ever decide to go another way and want to sell that beauty off, let me know.

Good choice!

She's a beauty Shawn!...enjoy and happy shooting!...Ive been looking at the Colt Marine gun but theyre going for $2500-$3000...not sure if its really worth it..

OG...how do you like that RIA?...seem to be decent reviews on them and pretty nice price point

Thanks,

Yeah I saw that marine gun and it is really nice. If I was a marine I'd buy it. But I'm not so I didn't think it was worth putting up that much.

 

H.e. I doubt I'll get rid of it. But if I do ill let you know.

Not my gun its just a pic I pulled off Google. LOL I heard about these guards, so I made my own for my Springfield out of cards also, just didn't feel like pulling everything out to take a pic.

so you got the regular colt rail gun? i have one and its been awesome. the colt mags a pretty shitty tho. i need to buy some good ones but its mostly been a range toy since i bought it. what are the difference between that and the marine version?

Thats the first time Ive heard of someone unhappy With the colt mags. Kimber pro TAC mags have done me well at $20 a piece.

 

 

My next handgun is a toss up between a railed 1911 or fnx-45

I'd go with the WC. Lots of good deals on other forums.
