Saw in the latest Guns&Ammo issue that the S&W 1911 has been nominated for handgun of the year. I got the impression that this is a faily new offering from Smith. Sounded as though G&A liked the gun. Anyone out there handled and shot one of these pieces? Any opinions good or bad?
I went to the local shop this weekend to look at a Sig P220. After all the positive posts here on the gun I figured I had to check them out. Big chunky gun for sure although it felt good in my hand. Then I asked the guy behind the counter if I could rack the slide and check out the trigger. He said sure so I did. Man I couldn't believe how long the takeup (don't know if that's the correct term or not) was on the trigger. It was far worse than my Beretta 92FS.
I won't buy one for that reason. I don't believe I could ever get used to it.
I guess I'm gonna look for a 1911 style gun. I have read here that the triggers are much better on these guns. I think I would shoot better with a shorter pull trigger. I know I do with my rifles. Think I'll look at Kimber and Springfield. Any other suggestions? What's the difference between the 1911 and 1911A1?
