So I picked up my first 1911 today, Colt XSE. I paid around 1065$ for it. It has a small blemish on the grip safety pad but other than that I love it. Definitely won't be my last Colt. Saving up for a standard govt issue and a Mustang for sure.
Man, this thing has a completely different feel than the CZ-97, the only other .45acp I currently own. It's been about 3 years since I shot my first Colt 1911. And I can't wait for the Commander I'm picking up in a few weeks.
I do have an interest in other 1911s just not sure where to go from here.
A couple things I noticed out of the box. The trigger is gritty. Nothing I can't get use to but I'll re-evaluate it after a few more hundred rounds. One reason I got the XSE was I liked the three hole style trigger. The sights were really easy to pick up and the rear Novak sight made the sight picture even better. The two stock magazines were a little difficult to load. Not sure if it's normal but when they are empty the mags sit right up against the magwell bottom. But when loaded the mags have a quarter inch gap or so. I can push them up to sit flush but they don't stay.
All in all I'm super stoked.
