Greetings! I am new to THR (seems another forum site is always ‘too busy’) and thought I'd post an invitation for anyone who has any experience with the venerable 1911 .45 ACP. Up to now I’ve focused mainly on CCW weapons in the 9mm caliber. But, after a recent trip to my local range, another member there was shooting a 1911 that left a lasting impression in my mind. I don’t remember the manufacturer, but it fit great in my hand and looked gorgeous. He offered to let me shoot it, but at the time I felt it’d be kind of like sleeping with another man’s wife, so I politely declined. Anyway, since then I’ve done some research, and I’m beginning to realize the valuable contribution this weapon is to history itself.
I'm not committed to any specific manufacturers right now. I've read an article on the Springfield Armory 1911. And I’ve visited the Kimber website. I’m really more interested with your past experiences and/or stories. I’d like to avoid the usual this gun is better than that gun rhetoric.
If there is already another recent post on the matter I apologize in advance. Just provide me a link to click on and I’ll happily check it out. Thanks!
PS – I realize I did not consume enough coffee this morning and spelled ‘Enthusiast’ wrong when I registered. However, I really didn’t want to register twice!!
