How much do you Like your Girl????

[DefJeff]

I like her a lot lol. Its starting to get expensive to teach her how to shoot on my G21. She blows through .45 like its .22 lol.

Get a kimber 1911 with their 22 conversion kit and you can kill two birds with one stone. I have one of their 22 conversion kits and it works great.

Either option gets you a new gun to shoot. I'm guessing you don't already have a 9mm or else she'd be shooting that instead.

Definitely option #1 as it gets you a new gun/caliber AND it gets you a cool rifle accessory! Option #2 might lead you to spend a heck of a lot more money, you'll still be shooting only .45 and it will only get more expensive if you are both shooting at the same time.

Get the Sig 1911. Such great pistol needs more shooter to enknowlege.

#1...assuming you don't need ammo or training.

Get AR and 1911, get rid of the girl

Lol I would get 1911 sig and tell my chick to pay for her own ammo if she wants to learn.

Step 1: dump girl
Step 2: get Eotech AND 1911

I would go with the sig. Nothing personal with your girl

[daybreak]

eotech and g17 would be more practical, imo.

The G17 for yourself to shoot.

1911s require a break in period during which they act up on you. So rather than buy a brand new one buy a gently used one off gunbroker and save yourself a couple hundred bucks and the pain of breaking it in. Just an idea.

Personally I would do the same with the Glock. I've gotten some amazing deals on Glocks and got a great deal on my Kimber off Gunbroker. You have to be patient, however, check every day for a couple of weeks and eventually you will find the right deal.

Girlfriends come and go but guns stay forever.

The G17 for yourself to shoot.

not a bad suggestion.

[CALI SHOT DOC]

get the g17 for yourself and have your girl buy you the 1911 for xmas?

I'd say get the glock with a 22lr conversion kit. 9mm still rack up bills pretty quick. The 1911s are good but not so useful in my opinion. They are heavy, and only hold 7 rounds. Only after my collection was at it's peak i purchased the 1911 to see what all the fuss is about. Would definitely choose a glock 21 over a 1911, for firepower and weight.



To all you 1911 fans, i agree that these guns are one of the most accurate out of box, trigger on the 1911s straight out of box are actually really good. And they are able to be customized to your liking. With that said, i'm not a glock fan at all, but would have to leans toward a more practical option.
