My pick for my first 1911

[PC7]

I’m partial to HK’s but I have been looking at adding a 1911 to the collection. I’ve been told I need a “high dollar†1911 and I’ve been looking at Wilson, Brown, and Nighthawk. However, I think this one fits the bill..

Ha! Yes...everyone and their dog is going to have a 100 year anniversary edition. And I mean everyone.

I think you were told wrong about needing a "high-end" 1911.

Now the gun you picked is nice...as a collector piece.

If you want a shooter 1911, Kimber, Springfield, etc. would fill your bill.

I tend to spend a good bit of money on firearms, especially 1911s and I certainly wouldn't mind having this one but I think I could find better uses for my money than six or seven figures that will be spent to buy this one!

Nice gun though and if you buy it, let's get together...I'll let you shoot any or all of mine if you let me shoot that one!!!

Right now it is at close to 83grand. with that much money one can buy really nice 1911's for a whole platoon of Marines.

Millions of U.S. Service men went into battle with the cheapest of 1911s. No need to buy and expensive safe queen. Buy a RI, Taurus, S&W or Springer and you'll have all you ever need. There are much better uses for the money you will save. Use the money somewhere else or to help someone else.

$50 Shipping, serious?

for 83 grand, I would spring for the plane ticket, and pick it up...and rent a car to drive it home, wouldnt chance it getting "lost" either in the mail or in the cargo hold.
