.45ACP which is most liked?

[reichertc2013]

Ok I'm about to buy a .45acp and boy I tell you what I love both of em but which is fav pick of this community between the two. Will the chrome ( hard chrome finish) easily get scratched and or will the black get scratched revealing the metal underneath? The chrome btw is $70 more.

Is it polished or hard chrome? I can't tell by the pic. What is the black finish on the other?

If you link to the manufacturer's web site you'll probably get better responses.

I've got a hard chrome 1911 and it is an excellent finish. Used it for several years in IDPA and 3 gun comps and it still looks great.

I've heard Turkey has been improving the quality of their firearms over the last couple of years but I know nothing about that particular manufacturer.

You're trying to buy a $500 1911 from Turkey. Expect both finishes to be **** and you won't be disappointed.

[SNCaliber]

get the black version, its a cheaper 1911, and the black will probably be more durable.

Are you buying it from buds? I ask because it says they can't ship to ca due to being off roster.

What's up with the "Warning" **** on the sides of those?

Pass.

[jaymz]

If you shoot it, they'll both end up with some "character". Buy the one you like most.

Buy the least expensive quality (reliable) model you can find .
Personally I would reject the picitinny rail underneath !

Many reasons but # 1 is that an adversary would most likely shoot at the light !

I'd get the chrome if it will be a safe queen, I'd get the black (like my 1911) if it will be a shooter.

Turkey produces some nice weapons and finishes as well, I know nothing about those 45's tho and would do some MAJOR research first. You can get a known brand for that price and a upper end brand for just a bit more.

Ditto. What's wrong with an American gun?

Hard chrome (not nickel plating) is an excellent handgun finish. The only thing I like better is nitride treatments and I usually go two-tone with nitride slides and hard chrome frames.

As you can imagine, the magwell is a high wear area on most guns due to the metal to metal contact between the mag and frame. I have a hard chrome gun and this has certainly been a high wear area for me.

There are some finishes/treatments out there that still provide a measure of rust protection once they have been worn away. Unfortunately, Hard Chrome is not one of them. This isn't a huge problem but I do need to pay attention to this area. I make sure it's kept clean and cleaned immediately after a range session and before it goes back into the safe. A generous coating of Renaissance Wax in between range sessions keeps this are rust free.

Relative to Uzbekistan, maybe.
