First 1911

Absolutely. There's really no excuse for idiot scratches, besides being an idiot.

Yeah, ok. I am one of them then.

[floogy]

Yeah, ok. I am one of them then.

Haha, me too. I guess we're the only two that ever made a mistake. The gun didn't disintegrate.

^^^^+1 for me.
tell you the true, I left THE marks in both of my 1911. The pistols did not complain so ......
(actually I try not to but hmm.... what the heck)

Welcome to the club!

[MosinVirus]

actually, all of us idiots, should look up the Log Man Slide Stop Mod... Which should actually come standard on all 1911s, but since it doesn't, us idiots should modify our Slide Stops...



That little groove... I am sure you all know about it.

Get the Springfield Marine

You don't need the full lenth guide rod

[ElvenSoul]

Smith & Wesson E Series should come with a wife will steal it warning!

The 1911 are like rabbits. Turn your back there are 3 in the safe then 5 a month later.

This is so true. Here's a nice little SA 1911 collection.

Thank you all. So many good suggestions.

If you've never had a 1911 I would suggest not getting one, it will zap the fun out of shooting your other pistols. Unfortunately for me the 1911 was the first semi I shot and it ruined everything.

For the same money, get a Les Baer.

[Cypriss32]

Find a usedles Baer.

Hope you know a competent gunsmith......
