They need more hugs. That is the problem

Why 1911?...many proven polymer guns on the market

Bradleyrj · 02-01-2013, 05:35 PM

Becuase 1911 > Polymer... Plain and simple and has for over 100 years.

OP, I carry and conceal a full size 1911 so any of the smaller 3-4 inche guns will be easy to hide. The correct holster makes all the difference in the world.

I like my polymer but I agree a 1911 is much better. I still don't have one but when I have the cash to drop on a "good" one (maybe not so good by some standards) I will for sure.

I have a Para Ordnance that I will put up against any of them for reliability and accuracy and I got it for less than 600 bucks.

Its just something ive been wanting.

I found a S&W pro series and Sig ultra two tone that ive been researching. I have since read about numerous qc problems with Kimber, it seems either it works great or people continuously have issues. I feel like if i spend 1200 for a gun it shouldnt have these kinds of problems.

I want this one.

Exactly my thoughts on this!!

Kimber eclipse is my next 1911......just for the sexiness it oozes.....not for concealment.

I have handled the emp. Very nice piece indeed.

I like the classic look of most of the 1911's, but I do like the feel of my M&P so I think I will stuck with it.

I love our M&P also but had rather carry the 1911.

Dont know the OP or the poster that posed the 1911 vs Polymer question so I cant comment. OP and others it will make a difference in how your built on what is comfortable to carry. I'm a big guy so the 1911 fits me fine. Sean is a bean pole that may weight 150 soakin wet with boots on.. so the polymer (lighter) is better for him.

Did some more reading on MIM parts and it looks like the majority still use them, sig,s&w,colt,sti and kimber. Basically it looks like "pick your poison" or spend big money. The bigger custom companies svi, ed brown and DW are all forged parts and that shows in the price.

The 1911 platform will surprise most of you on its concealability. It's only 7/8" wide across the slide which enables most folks to carry iwb without going to a bigger waist size for their pants. You can even get thin profile grips to slim the grip down, too.

Anyone have personal experience with Colt fire arms? Eyeing a New Agent, from reading they have 3 mim parts which can be replaced for under $100 from Wilson.

No experience with the New Agent but a lot of experience with a standard Colt 1911. WHich three parts are MIM in the New Agent?

WTFWSAT · 02-07-2013, 08:03 PM
