I was surprised years ago when I had a Glock (17 probably) and held it up next to a 1911. They just "seem" bigger. "Block" is a good description. I didn't care for the Gen3 21 (it stung my hand, and left it numb after 50rds), but just tried a Gen4 20 (10mm) and it was definitely "softer". I like 1911's, but after shooting other style pistols I find that the 1911's seem to have some "lag" time in cycling the slide.
Which one, if you don't mind telling us.

Give me that model in all black, running 9mm and I'd beIf you want it for everyday CC, I'd be looking at the aluminum framed commander size. I have the Performance Center version of this, but to be honest I don't thing the extra couple of hundred bucks buy you that much more. Is is a nice (relatively) light carry piece and the round butt does help in concealment.
Got a new arrival coming tomorrow. Will post pics when it arrives
Let me get this straight. Some cat from Hudson, NH asks which 1911 to get and after four pages of NES finest, I have a slight swelling in my briefs and I'm trying to decide if I actually need another 1911. Of course, now I'm convinced that I may need a higher end model, because that would be different from the ones I currently possess. I fully understand that I'm most likely trying to compensate for one of my many shortcomings in life, but I seem helpless to stop it. This has been a great chat, thanks.
Going to have to wait and see. I gotta make sure the deal goes throughWow! What'd you get?

OH NO!!!! I'm in trouble nowItd better not be some clapped out commander in a lame caliber like 38sc or 40sw.
Okay but there’s no picture.
You talked me into one.Magnum Research 1911. AWESOME.
I have let several members here shoot mine, after 500 rounds no cleaning, it is smooth, feels amazing and I haven't done any work to it.
If your budget is up to $2.5K ... I would get a MR 1911 in 45 ACP and one kn 10mm with plenty of money left for ammo. WIN WIN.
Few people around here have a MR so I recommend doing a search online and reading other forums. Keep in mind, most can't figure out how to get a Glock for under $900, so don't expect them to get a MR. Also many people have this false notion that under $1200 is sh*t. For some brands maybe it is sh*t. The MR punches way above its price and their customer service is awesome.
