1911's SUCK

You'll get no argument from me! Stpo, no hate mail or death threats please. I had 4 at various times and just couldn't get excited. Went to a SIG P-220 and it was a perfect fit. 220's rule!!

 

[TheEgg]

Yeah, they suck ----- they suck the money right out of my wallet.

 

[sigman4rt]

I hear ya, the Sig was more but the only added expense was a set of hogue grips. When the night sights die I can replace them myself, not have a 'smith do it because they're swaged into the slide. Sig's rule!

1911's most definitly do not suck. 1911's are, IMHO, the most perfect handgun man ever devised.

But that may not be YOUR opinion.

Skunk, dude, you love you Beretta's, you practice with them, you shoot them well, you train with them, they fit you, they have carbon fiber already on them....why do you feel the need to change? Pick a platform and stick with it.

Forget what all the internet gun junkies tell you, they ain't you.

Arizona gun law question:

Can you have a loaded long arm in your car? Or, does it have to be unloaded, locked in a case?

Smoke speaks truth-

Skunk, dude, you love you Beretta's, you practice with them, you shoot them well, you train with them, they fit you, they have carbon fiber already on them....why do you feel the need to change? Pick a platform and stick with it.

Remember: Beware the man that shoots one gun..

Besides , Skunk is in CA, they don't do "real" BBQ's in CA ...so Carbon Fiber is cool... [ J/K ]

NOW head to TX for a REAL BBQ , BBQ guns don't have metric designations- Calibers do start with the numeral "4" , NO carbon fiber - Real Ivory on them stocks.

Impression from some folks I talked to in AZ , they follow a similar "Etiquette" -

Neither TX or AZ allows one to trade a CRV toward a Horse , that is a hanging offense.

J/K

I got a thought for you - how come we NEVER hear of pax changing calibers, platforms or holsters. She continues to use what works for her - no matter what anyone thinks.

pax is a women - sterotypically women have perogative- men don't .

My 1911's do suck! They suck live rounds out of the magazine and into the chamber, then they suck the empties out and spit them onto to the ground.

Yes. No. http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/03102.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS

Welcome to Free AZ! As long as it is visible, it is good. If it is not visible, it needs to be in a "case, holster, scabbard, pack or luggage that is carried within a means of transportation or within a storage compartment, trunk or glove compartment of a means of transportation." Ta Da!

Its a Sig for goodness sake!!! Buy it!!!!

"Skunk, dude, you love you Beretta's, you practice with them, you shoot them well, you train with them, they fit you, they have carbon fiber already on them....why do you feel the need to change? Pick a platform and stick with it. "

I agree....
A firearms instructor/ shooting buddy, who happens to be a cop told me.....SHOOT WHAT YOU SHOOT WELL! I love 1911s and shoot them well, same with HPs, if you like the Beretta just keep shooting it, having shot a few 92s you couldn't give one to me! I have never found the need or a reason to use anything but the slabsides, they have always been functional, reliable 100%, shootable, accurate.... besides they are CLASSY!!!

 

[45Badger]

When you get your $2000 restored, I've got the perfect 45 acp "itch" that you can scratch

And it is SSSOOO black (gunkote) with black Gunner grips, that you might even think it's "Tactical"

 

[Stevie-Ray]

1911s? Suck?

Nope. Own a bunch. Need a bunch more.

 

[M1911Owner]

1911s good... very good...

 

[MoNsTeR]

1911's only suck compared to "2011's". Save up for an STI/SV, it's worth it

 

[Billy Sparks]

I have owned several 1911's over the years and have never really warmed up to them. Recently I was at my local gun shop and they had a used Springfield TRP Operator for sale complete with Surefire light for a good price. After a little arm twisting I purchased it. All of a sudden I love 1911's. I can't explain it I find that I am now taking a 1911 or my BHP every time I go to the range.

Oh by the way I got a GSR, 300+ rounds without a problem. All I have done is cleaned it and changed the grips.

Long story short? Be careful when the 1911 bug bites it bites bad...

 

[J.BELLINO]

Skunky,
What part of Az. will you be coming to? When you come , can I get you to autograph your picture in the "GIRLIE" mag. for me?

 

[saltydog452]

Skunk moving to Ariz.

If you move to Arizona, how are you ever gonna get your photo in a magazine again?

salty.

 

[PaleRyder]

I agree. I'll personally round up the unwanted 1911s in the Indianapolis area. Kind of like the 'turn in your guns' program the police run.
And of course, just like that program, I'll destroy the 1911s once I have them.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Ninjas don't tell....

 

[Sean85746]

SUUUUUUUUURE they do

Yeah, and in the same breath I would say my Beloved Hi Powers suck, and that Smith & Wesson K frames were scrap.

Than I'd need a bucket of water to sit in...because my PANTS WOULD BE ON FIRE.

'Nuff said

P.S. Welcome to AZ...call me, we can shoot together

 

[popeye]

Could this be the same skunk I communicated with a while back on 1911forum.com? I can only wunder.

 

[CZF]

What is so Teutonic about the GSR if the frames are made by Ruger and the
rest of the gun is a USA made 1911? Hmmmm..

 

[Daniel L]

I almost got rid of my USP for one.......... that trigger...

 

[nitesite]

The Dept of Homeland Security choose SIG but ....

But more importantly didn't the FBI choose Springy 1911s and LAPD choose Kimber 1911s?


Who has had more real-world shootin' "events"? Has the Fed DHS been fighing it out in the streets with Islamic terrorists with the SIG? No.

(Thank you, GWB and administration and footsoldiers.)

I bet the LAPD and FBI have years more experience, and know what they want because it works......

Makes me think the 1911 is argueably on the top of the Gold Medal platform. Even it it sometimes has to share that stand with a European entry, depending on who you listen to.

 

[Delmar]

I'll destroy the 1911s once I have them.

Good Luck, PaleRyder-my eldest 1911 has well over 130,000 rounds thru the original barrel. In fact, the only thing I did change was the recoil spring, hammer and sear. Me thinks you need to move next to the fountain of youth , you'll need the years!
