Yes, only (1) 1911 for each handI don’t understand why you 1911 guys need more than 1.

For a generational piece I feel the money is worth spending,
Everyone love there 1911’s like a family airloom! But remember, 1911’s 20 years from now will look much different and probably will be reliable as a Glock!!! Just Kidding… jezzz

I hate to compare them to the likes of Glock, but they also come in a variety of sizes and calibers.Probably for the same reasons many glock guys have more than one? Just a guess on my part though.

that’s because your a 1911 expert. I got a double stack 1911 9mm that shoots like a laser beam, then I got a .40 DS that is a turd. got a Colt Defender that I carry, only because I found the right load, bullet, and mag (WC shorty). I have a 1911 SDS that I been working on, it’s $319 and I got it to feed empties. I have high hope for this gun! finally found some time for testing in July!!!!I get it but some people honestly feel the 1911 simply isn’t reliable. I’d bet my life on any of mine. Whether testing magazines or ammo, I’ve yet to find anything including empty cases I can’t feed and all live ammunition has gone bang. I’d also consider myself a volume shooter, though lately less centerfire than I’d like.
I really don't know. Speaking for me after the first one I just starting gravitating to the things with a fondness for the Colt Series 70 guns.I don’t understand why you 1911 guys need more than 1.

True on that note. Over a good many years my own observation is this, any manufacturer on any given day can turn out a bad gun. While some are given a bad rap as they seem to turn out more bad than others stuff happens. A really good smith for .45 ACP 1911 guns is hard to find. Learning the 1911 is interesting as well as fun. While we all want a gun, any gun, to function flawlessly out of the box that is not always the case, regardless of who made it. I like 1911 guns and while some they do, some they don't and some you just can't tell.I recall many stories/threads discussing how well various 1911's run. Some are troublesome and some run without fail. One of the situations that sticks is that for those troublesome ones is that if it is resolved in the first RMA, they tend to leave a positive experience. If it has to go back in multiples, those don't leave favorable comments. We've certainly seen those threads come up detailing how CS has handled them. Not just RIA but the other manufacturers.
Lately, I've had the urge to have "1911 day" at the range, and y'all ain't helping a bit!
it just feel right! even when it’s bad, 1911 is good!Lately, I've had the urge to have "1911 day" at the range, and y'all ain't helping a bit!
If only I could bring myself to shoot enough of my stash to make that a worthwhile day!
Curious what that is in rounds?
Yeah, but what else did you buy/reload the ammo for? I keep a "stash" of SD ammo that I never touch, for the 1911 I generally carry, but the rest? I take two or three and maybe 100 rounds for each, it keeps me busy long enough, and I stay familiar with the differences between them (recoil, POA, etc.). If I happen to shoot up all the ammo I have for one or the other, then I have something to do on a 'rainy day' at the loading bench. I spend a decent portion of my range day chasing brass; I really should make a simple brass catcher/deflector I can set up at my shooting position. A few feet of 1-1/2" pvc pipe, some elbows and a piece of deer netting and some zip ties, and no more chasing brass. But, I've been lazy.If only I could bring myself to shoot enough of my stash to make that a worthwhile day!
