I've been in the market for a .45 acp handgun. I'd looked into a Sig P220, a Ruger P90 or P345. And though I had dismissed the 1911, I found a High Standard which was much lower in price than the Sig, and about a $100 less than the Ruger. So, I shot one just as I'd tested the other two finalists.
Now, I've never liked 1911s very much. Always thought they were overrated. And, I've always had problems with the slide release and getting bit. This 1911 had a beavertail and an extended slide release. Shot it better than any other .45 I've gotten my hands on.It was reliable (with 100 rounds of range ammo, admitedly not much of a test).
I'm kind of wondering if all this time, what I needed was a 1911 with the mods of a beavertail and extended slide release and better sights than stock GI?
I can say, although I think I'll still take a Glock over it for carry, and fun.... this 1911 thing might get to be a new addiction.
