kimber,springfield or dan wesson ???

[M76]

DW; in addition to being great quality, will also hold value

If $ was not an issue, Les Baer or Ed Brown

My DW Vbob 9mm. The fit and finish is literally a work of art!

Guess you like copies.

[nahpungnome]

^^^LOL on the irrelevant replies.

Of the 4 you mentioned, this is how I would rank them:

1. DW PM7
2. TRP
3. CZ 97
4. Kimber

Just my preference.

That's what I'd order them as well. As others have mentioned, the CZ97 is a far departure from the other 3.

A Baer PII can be had for $1800 at my range. I almost want to get it since I had the one I bought hard chromed. Baer's are a great value and built like tanks. Mine's pretty damn awesome.

Wesson, Springfield, Kimber=CZ in that order.

This^^^

How much are PM7's going for these days? $14-1500 +?? For that money, I'd throw in a few hundred more and get a Les Baer TRS, PII or a Custom Carry, both on the list.

Throw in a couple thousand more and you can have my Monolith Heavyweight.

Is that even on the roster?

The Monolith? No, but PPT is an option, if one were to sell That's why I commented "throw in a couple of thousand".

I doubt anyone in their right mind would sell an off roster 1911 pistol these days.

[customiiguy]

Just get a tactical supergrade and be done with it

[palms]

i now have the dw pm7,spr f trp ,cz 97 and a les baer pII
#1;les baer
#2 dan the man PM7
#3 TRP
and none are clearly better or worse than the other 2
and the CZ is the one you grab when you go into action

[nahpungnome]

Awesome, I enjoy my Baer even more than my Wilson CQB Light Rail, but I shoot my CGW 97B more accurately than both. Plan on doing anything to your 97? I'd recommend sending it in to CGW and getting the 1911 bushing put on and a SAO conversion
