    Yes you do. Two things everybody needs. A .357 wheelgun & a 1911 in .45ACP.

    Surprised everybody doesn't know this...

      "Do I need a 1911?"

      Using John Moses Browning as His instrument, God created the 1911 pistol as His gift to a free American People.

      You owe it to yourself to get one.
      Freedom is the dream you dream while putting thought in chains.

        You are correct there a 357 revolver and a 1911 two of the must own handguns! And I would add that the wheel gun should be a S&W and the 1911 there are many quality guns available I have a springfield Mil spec but I am soon to be in the market for either one that has been customized for match shooting or one to customize.

                I obviously need a 1911. My buddy knows I'm a gunhead, last week he gave me 4 mags and about 100 rounds. I can't let that stuff go to waste now, can I?
                Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                      LOL - what your buddy did is akin to a drug dealer giving you your first hit "for free." pretty soon you'll be hooked on 1911's. The only known cure is to send me all of them.

I've read lots and it seems to be preference but all in all the Sig is good, not the BEST but a good value considering all the custom (non MIM parts) ((i think)) and things like the 20 lines per inch checkering on the front strap isn't found till more expensive 1911's.

                        why the brand myopia? why not. It hasn't failed me yet.. I like my trucks Ford, my guns Sig, and my Women.. well, alive is my main constraint.
                        Just opinion.....of what I have read on Sigforum about all the problems. And, no I do not have any personal experience to back up my opinion...and judging from my comments about the Sig1911, it is unlikely I ever will.

                          You do not need a 1911, you need multiple 1911's.

                            Thanks All, got it... just haven't shot it. Took me 10min to put back together. Too scared of scratch to push the takedown lever past the detent. Got the trick now.. Oh, yeah, I lOVE the trigger.


                            just kidding... I Promise it'll never have that on there again, just HAD to for fun

                              No. You do not need a 1911. You are required to own one, though.

                              The following statement is true.
                              The preceding statement was false.
