1911...

[ruddogg]

I strongly suggest you shoot one before you decide to buy one. Handling it is not the same as shooting it. You'll be amaze at the number of people who have sold me their pistols because "it was not right for them." A commander sized 1911 shoots way different than a full size government (for me anyhow).

I agree... shoot one first! I was set on getting a 1911 till I shot one at the range (granted it was the Springfield Base Stainless model, they have a Wilson CQB that I plan on renting to try out.) I know 1911's are legendary & everyone should have one, I'm sure I'll have one at some point, but after being use to my Sig P226 .40s&w for the past 12+ years, the 1911 just didn't fit my hand as comfortably as my Sig. Shoot it before you buy it!
