I have several 1911s. I don't carry any of them, but I love to shoot them all.
That first part was mostly a joke anyway. I say mostly because not being an outright shill doesn't mean that his friendship couldn't create a conflict of interests when it comes to recommending 1911s.It maybe a conflict of interest IF Vickers discounted Les Baer, and other high end 1911 makers. Which btw he doesn't.
Also I am going to have to disagree strongly with you on Rock Island's being as reliable as a G21's. I know the Rock guys get defensive, if you mention their guns. It will never be as reliable as Glock.
I love 1911's dont get me wrong, I own a few. They wont be my daily EDC. Discount Vickers opinions, but what about Hilton Yam at 10-8 Performance? What about Dave Spaulding? Go read their views, someone who has been a LEO and armorer for almost 20 plus years. They all will generally say the same things. Love the 1911, be prepared to do extra maintenance to keep the gun up and running, thats all.
If I take ten 1911's from the same maker and 10 G17's and strip them all and mix them in separate 5 gallon buckets and have to stake my life on the one first one of each I put back together which one should I choose?
It is NEVER the fault of the gun.
I saw an article and a introdcution paragraph had the following warning about 1911 and I wanted to know if it was true.
"“Now, I shoot a Glock,” Vickers tells me. “Make sure you tell guys that the 1911 is a pain in the ass. If they don’t like messing around with the pistol and spending a grand to really get it tuned, then they should forget it.”
Did you seriously compare Springfield to Lorcin?
How's the view from your high horse?
