OP, yes the 1911s are great guns. I'm sure it won't be the last 1911 you'll be getting. Soon you'll be getting another.


One thing is sure when a 1911 thread is posted some playah keeps butting in his unsolicited 2bits. Can we have a 1911 thread without anyone pandering his Tupperware favorite?

I like both 1911s and Glocks. Its just fun as hell to bait all the losers that are either or.

This right here. Same with all the guys who won't buy or shoot anything unless it's made by one specific manufacturer.

The effort some people go through to remain willfully ignorant and blind to the variety life has to offer is simultaneously sad and humorous.

Good post. and I agree... its like asking if you want steak or lobster... Why not both?

I often have some stainless steel and tupperware in my range bag.

The TRP will serve you well. Make sure to always get good mags (crucial) and keep up with spring maintenance every 2-3 K rounds or so. The 1911 is a great platform if you don't mind its quirks. Don't dismiss polymer though. There are many good reasons they are today's standard.

For something that heavy and with old school swagger I've come to prefer .357 Mag revolvers but that's me. Hey, this is also about having fun and enjoying different firearms. You don't have to join a team and become narrow minded about guns.

What is the spring service about?

questions questions questions

My 1911 never functioned properly. A lot of FTF and stovepipes. It spent a bit of time at the gunsmith and still misbehaved. I sold it soon after with full disclosure to the buyer. I spent about 50 rds with a friends Nighthawk. It was ok. But for what he paid for it, I fail to see how it surpasses a Glock 21 in any category. I now see the 1911 as a hobby gun. Like a hot rod. Sometimes it will function. But in the end they need maintenance and a lot of it.

What make? what model? What caliber? What magazine? What ammo?

So you compare a $1300+ gun to a $600 gun. Why not a $1300 1911 compared to a $1300 CZ?

For those who think 1911 pistols have the best trigger, you should try a CZ Target gun. I cannot tell the different.


P.S. Show me your target.

yeah, +1!

Treat yer (semi)auto springs like oil changes on the auto(mobile). Personally, I replace the oil & filters every 5,000 miles, and the springs & any buffer type apparati every 5,000 rounds.

A Big Mac???

It is (although to me the CZ is just a step up to in and out burger.)

I love my Glock, it is a non nonsense tool. And it works and it is chimp simple.

I love my 1911. I bought a big ole box of 1911 ammo last night and sat a cartridge next to my favorite carry cartridge, .380... and a 9mm.


It us no coincidence I carried my .38 today. The .45 makes other auto cartridges look puny, and they work best out of a 1911.

I'll get over it and slip my .380 back in my pocket next week...

... First off, let me say maybe it's because it's my first 1911, but I just love the way a 1911 feels in your hand. It's not like any other handgun. Secondly, and maybe it's because I didn't buy an entry level 1911(I could be wrong) but the TRP shoots amazing and extremely accurately. I was hitting bullseyes at 25 yards no problem when I was struggling with my XD at 15.

Anyways, just wanted to share my story and say how stoked on my TRP, 1911s are definitely a different breed and am hooked .

Jeff Cooper, the guru, is right.

Don't forget the Browning High Power. It is like the perfect lamb chop, an acquired taste. Not for everybody but those who savory it, love it.

The Glock is the dependable Big Mac.

I cannot say that I am getting tired of the Big Mac and Double Double. They are on my nightstand.

Two of the best guns on the roster considering the value for the price.
