Novice here, but I've heard that you need to think about maintenance costs down the line. I don't know that a cheap 1911 is worth it. They seem to be expensive machines, very elegant, but requiring a lot of care.
I'm new to the .22 platform and I'm picking up a Browning Buckmark today. Is there any FMJ ammo for 22LR? Or is there a "best" 22LR that you'd recommend for this which will not lead the barrel excessively?
Thanks for this thread. Lots of 1911 threads of course, but I'm looking for something like this

Thanks for the link. I was expecting hysterical anti-gun propaganda from the Post, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Key point to acknowledge different cultures.
Good to know. I'd like to open carry while hiking, but was unsure of the legal ramifications. (I don't have a CPL).
Reactions? Have people 'freaked out' and called the cops?
Thanks, Shawn. The most accurate auto I've shot is a .40 M&P. Might have to trade in that revolver I don't hit so well with.
And thanks for posting http://www.firearmstactical.com/hwfe.htm in particular. Very useful conclusion.
So if we start with ammo, then the next question in my mind is which handgun for the caliber/round selected. I know, a can of worms... time to keep reading!
