That is one sexy shooter

 

[Tripledigitride]

Yes! it's a real beauty. I wouldn't mind having one myself.

 

[tinctorus]

its not a terrible price on gunbroker either
at least i didnt think 900 was terrible for what it is
i love the compact 1911's

 

[RogueXD]

Nice, not big on flutes, but nice pistol!!

 

[Houseboat]

Do not put one in your hand!!
Chances are you wont be able to put it down..

 

[charlie.45]

other than being ported i really like it as well

 

[focusr3]

That is nice but i don't see the need for the porting. I would still shoot it .

Beautiful gun, but it is not one that I would carry for personal defense.

If it is a firearm that you are considering for a carry piece, I would encourage you to consider a non-ported one.

I am not a fan of ported guns for personal defense. Since most self defense shootings are at night, I would be concerned about the increased muzzle flash from the porting further degrading your night vision after the first shot.

I would also be extremely concerned about the likelihood of having to point-shoot from the retention position while the porting is throwing hot gas and powder up into my face.

thats a beautiful................. firewall

Looks great, except for the ported barrel. Something to keep in mind, most self defense shootings happen in a low light environment (at least according to a sheriff buddy of mine, who's also quite a pistolero). That ported barrel is gonna give you a nice muzzle flash; impressive at the range, but in a dark place its gonna be blinding. Just a thought

 

[redtree]

LOL rystineusmc beat me to it!!!! The only problem that I see is if you needed to pack at night. You will get a flash out of the porting and that will give you night blindness other than that it's a sweet gun!!!

 

[tinctorus]

haha no it really wouldnt be for everyday carry just for range use and home defense
although if i did conceal carry it i would do it during the day only because of the flash from the porting

Doesn't solve the problem getting and eye-full of hot gas and power fragments from firing from the retention position... (A very common shooting position in self defense situations.)

Very nice! I shot a friends Spingfield 1911 Saturday and really liked it.
It was completely decked out with factory upgrades (sights, safety, slide release, engraving ect....) Other than the porting, his was a much nicer pistol and he only gave $800 for it. I think the porting looks cool but I think you'd be paying a lot for something that serves very little purpose.
I've shot various pistols that were ported and saw no difference in rise.
Look around. I think you can do better for less if you leave off the porting as a feature.

Not to mention the loss of skin.

I think it's hideous. You should do yourself a favor and get rid of it right now.

I'm so magnanimous, I'll free you of that eyesore for only $100.

 

[IanCFitz]

Love it, sans porting...

 

[rickett]

WOW! Gorgeous!

 

[Yuppicide]

Who else thinks this is a beautiful gun?


Eh.........It's alright. :neutral:
