The appeal of 1911s

But I'm still kind of unsure why the design is so popular. It's good, but so are tons of other guns. And now I'm looking at something else to feed the gun habit lol.

Steve, You just need to get some trigger time on one.…. A good one.

The next time we have a get together I’ll give you a heads up, if you want to go.

WARNING: If you get into 1911’s or quality revolvers they will feed your gun habit. The problem is your wallet being able to keep up.

Sounds good Dave. I'd be happy to shoot a good one and really 'get it'. And I'm also more than willing to let anyone shoot my guns, although they're nothing too fancy. Until I get this AR project completed...that's gonna be my next baby.

Just my opinion...

The 1911 is like the B52, when you get all the factors right in the tool, and the job stays the same, there is little need to redesign the tool.

there nothing as nice as shooting a well tuned 1911 we have several. the wife even has one for daily carry.

It's about preference for me. The 1911 feels good in my hands. I like how it shoots and looks. So many brands to choose from, it will drive you crazy or your wallet.

Shoot as many different ones you can, no rush on choosing one. The 1911 has been around forever and it will continue to do so.

It has a solid feel and it points naturally.
