OK, I am a wheelgun guy. You don't see me here often, and I think this may be my first post in this forum. You will see me in the Blackpowder and Revolver forums so I hope you will be kind to a newbie.
I received the latest issue of Shooting Times magazine yesterday, (very welcome, since we are snowed in by winter storm Cleon), and it has a "1911 Shootout" as a featured article. I am curious how the author's rankings will be received by you folks who participate in this forum. The only autoloader I own is a an old Ruger Mark I. I feel a bit guilty about not owning some kind of 1911, but have never taken the plunge. Your comments may push me over the edge to purchase a centerfire autoloader instead of only using wheelguns.
Mr. Paul Scarletta wrote the article. He ranks the following 1911s in this order:
1. Para 1911 Expert Stainless
2. Ruger SR1911
3. Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911G
4. Springfield 1911-A1 Mil Spec
5. Auto-Ordnance Thompson Custom 1911
6. Taurus PT-1911
7. ATI FX45
Not necessarily trying to start arguments, although they can be great fun when the weather is bad.
How say you all?
