next purchase???

Alright so I have been searching and roaming the site and the internet for about a month now trying to figure out what pistol I want to get but I have a dilemma. This is going to be my only larger caliber handgun for quite a while (I have a Ruger Mark III Competition) because my money needs to go to other things, like stocking up on ammo haha. I want a semi and I want a hammer...call me old-school but I like a hammer for safety. I have been debating between a 1911, the history behind them makes them one of my favorites, a CZ, loved the feel of them, orrrrr a Sig. I also can't even decide what caliber. 9 or .45....

Like I said, this is going to be my only larger caliber pistol for a while so this is going to be my go to. I will be taking it to the range for fun but it will also be for HD and will be on me once I move out of state.

I am leaning more towards a 1911 .45 but I also like the CZ and how stinking accurate they are.

I plan on reloading so .45 won't be as bad so don't worry about the price difference.

I also have an AR-15 and a 12 gauge if that helps any.

So what do you all think? And I know everyone has their own opinion but I would really appreciate the input because I can't make a dang decision and I really want to pick something so I can start stocking up ammo and what not.

Thanks for your time fellas!

You have to at least have 1 1911.

[corcoraj2002]

search is your friend, go rent a 1911 - Sig - Glock or whatever you are interested in and find what you shoot accurately and go from there.

I agree, everyone should own a 1911.

I agree, everyone should own a 1911.

+1. If reloading, ammo cost is not a huge concern. Everyone has to have a 1911...

i want a 1911 badly, but cant afford it because i have a happy trigger finger and .45 gets expensive.

maybe in a couple years...

i say go 9mm so ammo is cheaper and go with a CZ. I'm biased though. I do like Sigs however, but they're pretty expensive ($200+ more).

[ruddogg]

get a Dan Wesson 1911, which is now CZ, so you can get both a CZ & a 1911, 2 birds with 1 stone.

I love my Dan Wesson PM-7

yes everyone needs a 1911...

I love my Sigs too...

Like previous posts, goto the range, shoot them all, and buy the one most comfortable in your hands and you're most accurate with.

1911...

[norcalrider]

I appreciate everyone's response. My problem is I've shot all of them and I'm very comfortable with every single one of them. I'm a big guy I'm 6'8" and 245...so there isn't really a platform that I have shot that I am weary of.

I am leaning 1911....any real huge reason I should go to the other 2 that I have overlooked?

I say get a 1911, only flaw about buying 1911s is that once you buy one. You will want them all.

[dbbspider]

Get the 1911 and call it a day

[cwin]

I say get a 1911 AND a CZ. You won't regret it...but, if you can only get one now, I'd definitely get a 1911 first. I have a sweet spot for them.

[InGrAM]

Check out Dan Wesson 1911's they are excellent firearms and don't have brand names billboarded all over their slides like every other 1911 out there.

[ZX-10R]

Colt 1911...AK Pistol.

[Blackboomstick]

I'm going to agree with everyone else and say 1911, especially if you don't have a shooting preference between your choices. You can customize it and really make it your own. I was in a similar situation and I chose to get the 1911. Now that I have one, or soon after its out of jail, everything else is secondary.
