another 1911

[garbageman]

I guess it is time for another 1911 have a trophy match springfield and a les baer. I am wondering what other choices I consider.

Well, I believe a Colt should be in your collection. However I am interested in a SA TRP Operator.

[Echidin]

there are a lot of options to consider. Size, caliber, price tag, production vs. custom, etc. Can you give us a little more information about what you may be looking for and intended use?

Dan Wesson Valor

[timbo399]

Lot of Calgunners seem to like their Dan Wessons. I've never shot one but sounds like makes great 1911's. I have a S&W1911, Wilson Combat CQB, SA GI and SA TRP half rail.

Since Half Rail off roster I would be just as happy w a full rail. If can find one for decent price I really do like my SA TRP.

Even though my S&W1911 is dedicated nightstand gun, the SA TRP just gives you the feeling it would never let you down- not as 'sleek' looking as some 1911's but just a serious work horse- and I like the trigger and strong feel of the safety- just seems to me like a well made gun and have SA's amazing warranty and Customer Service.

But that's just me, a guy who's never even shot a DW, etc, there's a number of great options I'm sure others will chime in on- but I can vouch for my SA TRP being worth the $1600 before tax paid for it last year. Rugged 1911 that doesn't like to be babied.

I think the LB and DW are very nicely made. For less the TRP is a great option in a well made gun.

Springfield Pro.

+1 on the Dan Wesson. Kinda partial to the Bobtail 4" Commander. I tried a Ed Brown several months ago. I paid more for it than my Les Baer, and it was not as accurate. Right now, I've got a bad taste about Ed Brown 1911's.

SA TRP Full Rail

[Kmai24]

Build one!!

[Litespeeds]

How much are you willing to spend is the real question. You want to buy new or gently used? Something on the CA roster or off roster? Once you give us a better idea of what you are thinking of, we can give you our recommendations. Your thread is too general. Please be more specific.

[AreWeFree]

Maybe this one...

SA 1911 TRP Operator gets my vote.

How about starting with a Mil Spec and having all the work done at the custom shop. I wont molest the one I have now but I've been thinking about getting started when I get the next one
