I don't know. I have smaller hands. I like single stack anythings. So I prefer a 1911 (with slim grip plates) to a G26. I owned a G26, S&WM&Ps as well. They were hard to get a good grip to control after the first shot. And my fingers were always trying just a tad too short so my hand would "cheat around" a little which meant my wrist and elbow were not in a direct line with the barrel. I have a Sig 239 and the first time I shot it my reaction was "Wow! This thing makes me shoot so much better!" It was because my hand and arm were aligned better due to the single stack.How is sig's 1911? Because I really want to get a 1911 next.
I have the sig Tacops 1911 from sig and love it. Shoot at least 50 rounds a week through it some weeks a couple hundred. Only malfunction I've ever had was a new recipe of swc reloads I made that the crimp was too loose and she hung up feeding. Ran them back through the crimping die for a little tighter crimp and they ran perfect. Gun is accurate as any good 1911.......the fit ans finish is very nice. Can't go wrong for a sub $1k 1911.

2 CZ's, 2 Benelli's , 2 Glocks, 2 Rugers , 2 S&W's, 2 Kimbers . 2 is my favorite brand.
Very nice collectionView attachment 448811
Colt, because they’re awesome. EDC is a SW 642 because I don’t mind the dings, scrapes and bumps. My Sunday gun is a 1976 LW Commander, with ivory grips
Wouldn't mind !Are you trying to breed them, Noah?
Because your spelling is subpar I’m to be blamed? How rude and backward you are sir.
Ruger, by far.Out of all the guns you've owned, past and present, which brand do you own the most of?
For those of you with multiple firearms from the same manufacturer, do you have multiples of the same model? I was watching a Tactical Toolbox YouTube video and he was going through his safe. Must have counted 10 Glock 19s, plus a few P80 G19 builds. I understand that they can be customized, so having multiples isn't unheard of, just curious.
Yes. And multiples of the same style and manufacturer in different calibers.For those of you with multiple firearms from the same manufacturer, do you have multiples of the same model?

Right. And some of those practical users will have multiples "in case." Competitors are a perfect example; it makes perfect sense to me that an athlete has an exact duplicate of their core piece of equipment as a backup.Just to add a little: there's a difference between a practical user and a collector. A practical user will think "I like [brand]" and buys guns from that brand to suit their purposes, like say the guy with a bunch of different sized Glocks. A collector seeks out that brand's or model's variants just to have.

Most of their guns are serviceable, but I just don't like the way they look. (their slide profiles are weird to me, I like slab-sided 1911s ) They used to be total dumpster fires when the GSR came out but they have come a long way. One thing to look out for, they use an external extractor, though. I have no idea whether this part is common or not or procurable via aHow is sig's 1911? Because I really want to get a 1911 next.
i had a real itch for a quite a while to get myself a staccato - but - got a shadow 2 and as long as i have absolutely nothing against 1911s or 2011s - it is working way better for me.Most of their guns are serviceable, but I just don't like the way they look.

commoner. One thing I like about all the 1911s I do have, is they're all series 70 (no firing pin safety garbage) and any 1911 gun plumber dude will have parts and can easily work on them. I don't have to rely on factory service. I am weird with 1911s though, unless something is hosed if its a minor problem I would rather have a local gunsmith fix the
thing than send it out. Usually the end result is better.
I just bought my first Springfield (Vickers Masterclass) and I actually am impressed for the price point. (under 1400 bucks) I like my DW specialist too, but the DW costs a lot more than that gun does. The Springer is actually more comfortable to shoot because its not quite as aggressive in its checkering and so on.

i know you said it feels too heavy - and after an hour of shooting it i can feel it too - but - it is nothing short of amazing. may be that feel will self-dissipate with time, but, so far i am a believer.
