1911 45acp

Does anyone on this forums own a custom 1911 & a Glock/M&P/XDM/CZ ect..., which do you like better & why? I'm thinking of buying a custom 1911, who would you recommend? These are the ones I'm looking at here: https://www.fusionfirearms.com/pistols/freedom-series Does anyone on this forums use...

I think we need a 1911 photo thread..! With that being said I will be the first to post one… This is my newest 1911 and I have to say I LOVE it… Sig Sauer Scorpion full size with the G-10 grips with the built in mag well… Tritium night sights This is a DREAM to shoot and out of the box...

Just wondering what y'all think.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I spent some time at the Range yesterday. I took two 1911. A Kimber Super Carry Custom HD and a Phillipine made American Classic Combat Commander. I fired two hundred rounds of Federal Champion Ball and twenty...

I recently graduated from college with honors, high GPA, top 5%, etc. the whole shebang. My family wanted to congratulate me with something that I've been eyeing for a long time now a 1911. The cost of the thing prohibited me from buying one before (you know, poor college kid stereotype) as I...

Hello, I have the following guns and planning to scale down a bit. I am wondering which ones you think I should sell? Ruger 10/22 Remington 870 Bushmaster AR 15 5.56 Saiga IZ 132 7.62 x 39 - 2 of them Glock 17 9mm Beretta Px4 9mm Colt Combat Com. 45 ACP 4 inch barrell RIA with Match...

So I am looking at getting a RIA 1911a1 GI .45 ACP. Just the standard GI model. I have been getting back into 1911's lately and got a brand new colt. I love the thing and don't mind getting it beat up but would also like a 'cheaper' gun that I can take camping/hiking with me etc. that I can...

Put a brand new RIA GI 1911 up to a range test today. 18 Degrees with 1 - 5 mph winds. Let me start off saying that the 1911 is a great platform. The Rock Island GI does its job very well. At first look, the gun looks decent with the parkarized finish. Adding multiple coats of rem oil to the...

I am thinking about upgrading the factory sights on my Remington 1911 R1. The problem I am running into, should I go with tritium or fiber optic sights? A buddy of mine who served in 2 tours - 1 in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan liked the fiber optic sights on a weapon he was issued. I think...

Ok guys and gals, I am on the eve of buying myself a new 45acp pistol, hopefully a Remington 1911 R1. Its probably been 7 years since I have owned a 45 or bought 45acp ammo. Since I have been out of the loop for so long, I am here to ask advice. Winchester sells some white box 230 grain round...

Guys and gals, I am looking at buying a 45acp after the first of the year, give me your suggestions. I am currently looking at the Rock Island 1911 Tactical model. Second option is the Springfield XD. To be perfectly honest, I have wanted a 1911 style pistol for a long time. Please, no colt...

Hello, I am looking to add a 1911 to my collection and would like your opinions. I am looking for something affordable and most important dependable. My range is up to $900 but less would be better. Your ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey yall, Currently in the market for my first pistol. I turn 21 in July and plan on getting my CCW soon after that. Currently looking at compacts and want something with an external hammer and manual safety(so NO Glocks). Right now im looking at the Rock Island 1911 compacts and a SIG 226...

I'm ready to take a break from the heathen polymer and get some American steel. :o: The first thing I noticed when looking at different 1911s is the price difference between brands. Anywhere from $500 for a Springfield or Rock Island to $2000 for a Colt or Wilson Combat. Now that I've got the...

Hey y'all I was wanting to know what firearms you would take with you in a bug out situation. Primary: Marlin 336 in 30-30 Secondary primary: Ruger 1022 strapped on my pack, tactical stock and 25 round magazines Secondary: Heritage rough rider 22Lr/22 mag in my heritage gun belt and holster

Please post if you own a 1911 and it feeds hollow points...reliably. I have a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911 and it will feed hollows if there are only 5 or 6 left in the mag. Above that I have to use Pow 'R ball ammo and its annoying. Please post brand/model and how well it feeds hollow point...

I'm looking to take my level III and level IV security traning soon. I was wondering if the RIA 1911A1 is a reliable pistol for duty? I already have a shotgun for my level III. But sadly had to sell of my pistol awhile back to make a bill. It was an FEG PJK-9HP browning hi-power clone. It ran...

:thumb: Just got it paroled from the local fun store after is sat in 3 day time out (enough to make a guy kick a Chicago Democrat in the balls). Also if the FFL holder hit's one button on the ISP instant check wrong it takes about 15 minutes to wade through the phone system. Oh well he serves...

Can someone point me in the best direction of the most reliable AND least expensive 1911 magazines. So far it seems like Wilson and Chip McCormic are leading the pack, but they are all expensive. (I just got the Chip M 10 rounder. It performed flawlessly.) I really like to have a lot of...

Im in the market for a sub 600$ 1911, here's the following requirements -Must be reliable, i don't want one that's been known to have feeding/extracting/jamming issues. Has to work right out of box. -I want the bells and whistles. Hollowed trigger, Extended slide release, Beavertail. Also an...
