Cause it's the fastest, safest, & most accurate gun to be put into action

If it's not broke don't fix it.

Because if God needed a gun he would reach for a 1911.

 

[Fordtough25]

Because it works, and it puts big holes in stuff!

It was made to pacify evil people, better than any other gun made

 

[hueycrew]

My Colt, Kimber, and RIA have a brief yet meaningful conversation with me every day. We are the best.....

I can't wait to purchase my first 1911.... your probably asking why don't you have one already?..... a little too expensive for me right now and I won't spend money on a Llama..... I've been looking into the RIAs and Springfield 1911s and maybe one day I will be able to afford a Kimber Raptor or a Para Ordnance Warthog....... any other 1911s I'm not thinking of??? Other than Colt <--- best 1911s obv

COLT, CASPIAN, LES BAER, WILSON, ED BROWN, NIGHTHAWK, DETONICS, STI, I can keep going

My personal $.02: A proper 1911, being the quintessential American firearm, should be American made. SO I could never buy a RIA, Springer (frame made by Imbel in Brazil), or Para (Canadian). In my mind (and YMMV of course), it's like an US flag made in China; it's just wrong!

Colt makes a nice 1911, as does Kimber (stay away from the blasphemous external extractor models though!) in the more reasonable price range.

One day, when I start making real money, I'll get a Brown/Baer/Wilson/Nighthawk.

Please do.... at the end of my post I said Colt but moving on...... most affordable?? Preferably sub-compact.....

MAN! The Ruger SR1911 looks awesome! Hope one of my gun nut friends gets one that I can try out..... Only 1911 I've ever shot was a Kimber Warrior.....

If there was a better gun, than a 1911 I would be having it

 

[TomN]

They have nice triggers.

 

[forkliftdave]

I have a Springfield gi and a loaded. They are very good guns for the money

 

[kinorton]

I have never owned a 1911, but my plan is to buy a RIA in the next few months. It is all I can afford at this point. When I can afford too I will buy a Colt.

A springer ultra compact was my first pistol, and I wouldnt have it any other way. I have since added a full size to the collection. They are wonderful pistols, and easy to shoot. The only problem with them is that my wife loves them as much as I do, so there will likely be a few more added to the collection in the next few years.

Once you buy a 1911, you'll want to customize it & buy more
