.40 s&w m1911

[CmdrSlander]

My grandfather has a LARGE stockpile of .40 S&W and he's getting a little too old to go shoot regularly. As such, his .40 S&W (2000+ rounds) sits in his gun room, untouched. I've always had access to it but haven't had a gun to shoot it. You see, grandpa is a glock man, and I'm am not a fan of glocks so I haven't made a habit of borrowing his .40 cal glocks to go shoot when I have plenty of .45 ACP for guns that I would much rather shoot. I collect M1911s (or I am trying to start anyways) and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good quality (I'm used to Springfield, Dan Wesson, and Kimber performance) M1911 in .40 S&W.

Sorry for the rambling nature of this post.

Thanks.

STI Trojan.

I've yet to find a bad review of one on the forums I've been on..

+1 for the STI Trojan

Fired one at the range and its a great gun, and it handles 40 quite well.

I have an old PO P-16 in .40 (with a ramped barrel) that my gunsmith friend has worked on. It has all new Ed Brown internals and fire control system, some extra checkering and has a matt hard chrome finish. That sucker is SUPERBLY accurate and absolutely 100% reliable. I love that thing!

I also have an extra Ed Brown barrel fitted to it in .357 SIG.

Very versatile hunk of hardware!

Thanks guys, the trojan looks nice, and the spartan (saw it when on STI's site) looks like an inexpensive way to add some 9mm M1911 action to my collection.

inexpensive Mr. Trump? for 1 G I'll take a Glock 23 and a M&P40 and a couple hundred rds of ammo.

guess it's just the Scottish in me

@breacher buy enough nice M1911s and $680 seems inexpensive

If you can make the splurge on a custom build, I'd highly advocate a Wilson Combat 1911 in .40 or a Nighthawk Custom T3 in .40.
