Well....the day has finally come.
I noticed a crack in the dust cover of my favorite 1911 today. I guess it's time to finally retire her. She's been a faithful and wonderful part of my life for the last few years. Feeding her several thousand rounds every month has certainly taken its toll on her cast Essex frame.
But I'm moving on to better and more expensive things...
The big question is what to buy when I need durability, reliability and parts that never break. It needs to work every single time...no matter what. I need a magwell and ambi safeties for my silly left hand. I also want adjustable BOMAR sights. I can do without front cocking serrations and MIM parts. Money isn't really much of an problem...but I need the gun soon. IDPA season is upon us and I need to get her up to speed fairly quickly.
I was looking at Baer and Brown and they look nice but I haven't shot many of them. I'm staying away from Wilson because I think they're overpriced. Hmm..Springfield Legend series are pretty darn nice.
What else is available?
