1911 convert

[luchador768]

Maybe it's because my 40th birthday is fast approaching, or because the 1911 design is so damn good. Either way I'm hooked. I took my Sig 1911 Tac out today and ran 300 rounds through it. No hiccups, no drama just a bunch of closely grouped .45 of an inch holes in paper. I shot Blazer brass and aluminium, and LAX reloads, it ate all of it without any fuss. Even managed to break it down a few times and avoid an idiot scratch. Now I have my eye on a Springfield.

I don't think you can own only one. I picked my first 1911, a Springfield GI in February and just picked up a Colt XSE Commander this week! They are awesome guns!

Grats! Glad to hear it works well.

Im waiting on my Sig stainless rail 1911 right now... my first 1911

Cant wait...

Congratulations! I'm also waiting for my first 1911 to get out of jail. And It's a Sig railed Tacpac!

[modls7]

I'm eyeing a railed Sig myself! I'm not sure though if I want to trade the nightsights away for a Tacpac though.

i had the Springfield loaded 1911 and loved it, traded it for a sweet M1 Garand. Replaced it with a Sig 1911R, a Para LTC 1911 and a Rock Inland tactical1911. Love them all maybe the Sig and Para more but for a 100 year old gun it rocks!! May try in 9mm someday but i don't know i feel more accurate with a 45acp.

I never shot a 1911 by Sig, but from what I heard from a friend of mine that gun is good to go. I own several Springfield & totally love them!

Dare I say that it was the 1911's trigger that did us all in? Lord knows that magazine capacity isn't it and I'm quite certain that several manufacturers adopted the 17-degree grip angle in their offering.

[ExtremeX]

Dare I say you are probably correct. The 1911 trigger is pretty much my favorite thing about the 1911, aside from aesthetics...

+++ on the trigger!

I just can't get used to a Glock trigger. My new carry gun will be a "left in the dryer to long" shrunk down version. Lightweight Commander, Officers or ?????? Even tempted by the Springfield EMP in .40. Been waiting for years after I called Springfield about the EMP in .45 GAP. Still no sign of it. I was promised they were "working on it".

Happy birthday and congrats on a fine gun. I have had my combat commander for about 4 years now. I love it.

I have a SA TRP in jail now. Cant wait until Saturday to pick it up. I really like the Sig Scorpion 1911. I think that will be my next purchase.

[luchador768]

The TRP is my next gun. I really like the fit and finish.

[jdogg2000]

Yeah, i gotta admit... So addicting... The trigger on these two are by far the best out of all my other handguns. The PPQ trigger is pretty amazing too, closest thing to a 1911 trigger in a striker pistol I've ever felt.
