    Hi guys, an acquaintance suggested I join your forums as Im looking to get my first pistol. Ive only dealt with rifles and shotguns all my life and now that Ive got a gun safe Id like to get a pistol. I thought about getting a 1911 as my first gun because its a tried and true model but I have no idea what brands are better then others for pistols. any suggestions?

    :welcome:2:ingo:! I think you'll find opinions about 1911's are as varied as the people who have them,including me. I'm a fan of the lower and mid range priced guns. I've owned a Rock Island GI and loved it,my brother has a Taurus PT1911 and a Kimber Polymer Pro Carry II hi-cap,bought used for a great price.Both of those are excellent weapons. My advice is try as many as you can,find the one that fits your hands and your budget,and enjoy. Beware thought,they are addictive!:D

    Yeah I had someone else suggest rock island as a good low end one but I have not seen of them in any stores. Are there any good places on the north side of indy to shoot and try different models?
