1911

I own four Colts. NEVER had a problem with any of them. On a purely appearance level, I don't like the front slide serrations on most of the S&W's or the Kimbers. Also I support his decision to buy American. I'd rather see American workers employed than Brazilian ones. Besides that, The man has the right to his own opinions. By what right do you other people belittle his?
After all, YOURS are ONLY opinions!

With your budget I would look around for a Les Baer TRS or Premier II. They are essentially the same gun with different sights and grips. You can find used examples in your price range if you look. Very accurate and reliable. Mine eats anything that will fit in the magazine. After 15,000 rounds it is still my favorite pistol and is what I shoot best. The target was a magazine at 15 yards freehand using 230g. Golden Sabers.

Harley and Buell's don't have much to offer in the sportbike arena.

No because we only had Buell and that is not a choice when it can barely keep up with a naked bike.

I know all about the Harley and Buell...that's why I ride a ZX6 Ninja myself. Just bustin' your chops "pare"! Isa pang noypi shooter on board.

i for one respect your desire to buy a gun made in america. this free trade business is a sham. everything we buy from american corporations nowadays is made in china, but for them to sell anything in china the chinese require that it is made in china. that aint free trade, that is BS! and both the gop and the dems sell us out equally on that issue. thumbs up for made in america brother! not assembled and marketed in america.

It's really scary that we rely on countries that really don't like us to make our goods.

Definitely the direction I"m heading towards...Beautiful piece!

Sorry, but you are missing the obvious choice - Dan Wesson. A new PM-7 is in your price range, and is argueably the best value in that segment. All US made, lifetime warranty, Ed Brown parts, forged frame, etc.
