So, I may be able to get a 1911 for Christmas this year!
yeah i know its far away, BUT i figured I'd start looking now and figure out what I want and whats a good fit for me. I cannot justify a kimber because i am a casual shooter. im thinking the ruger sr1911 would be a cool choice but i dont like the beaver tail being black and the rest being stainless. just looks kinda strange to me. i thought the SA GI would be fun too but idk. ive read a lot of people with mixed experiences with the tauras pt1911 and idk if anything new has changed with that. the s&w ones are pretty expensive and id feel like an jerk asking for something like that.
ive also considered the sig 1911-22 too, costs way less and i can shoot the snot out of it and not bust the bank. i wouldnt want one in 9mm (kinda defeats the purpose imo, and ive enjoyed shooting .45 when i have haha).
anyway the idea of having a 1911 is so damn exciting! especially since i watched the a team recently and hannibal totes around a 1911 and it just makes me want one more haha.
any suggestions and guidance is always appreciated/wanted!
