Which 1911 Should I buy next??????

[herdbull]

So.......this might be like asking for medical advise (sorry, couldn't help it) but.....

I REALLY like the 1911 platform and currently have a S&W E Series 1911TA (this is a full size 5" model, all stainless steel, heavy and fun to shoot), a S&W 1911Sc ( scandium frame, 4.25" barrel, light, fun to shoot and nice to look at, all black) and a S&W 1911Pro in 9mm ( full size, SS, heavy, shoots like a 22 and very fun).

Thanks to a member on here I will have some extra cash to consider a 4th 1911 purchase as of tomorrow, any suggestions??...about buying a new 1911...please...someone already suggested I go to he$$ today so that's not required.

Looking forward to your feedback

Have a custom one built - never look back to production.

You need a S&W Performance Center 1911 or reach out to a different brand. Your choice include Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Ed Brown, Les Baer....yada yada...

S&W brand is not the LV (Louis Vuitton) of 1911.

With 1911's it's all in how much do you want to spend. If you give us a price cap then you might get some better suggestions.

I was thinking around $1,500 but can wait and save up for something really special

If you love 1911's get a custom build. You get the best of all the features YOU want. But be prepared to wait and spend more $.

Greg will build you the kind of gun that will make us all drool when he posts awesome pics of it in his sub-forum when he's done with it.

Then get an original save the money up and get yourself something that started the whole history of a 1911. It will be a collectors price but hey got to live. I have wanted one for a very long time but cannot handle the expense. Sounds like you on the other hand may be able to make it happen.

Yup wait if you can and get a nice one!

Buy a nice Springfield, TRP's are nice and can be bought in that price range. Or, like everyone else said, save your money and buy a custom. I am still paying for a custom i bought...

$1500 I would go STI.
Or
for $1500, order all the parts and find a top smith to fit them for free

 

[rcwhat]

personally i'd go with a Colt 21st century commander Wiley Clapp edition. They look sweet in person. Zero hour has one right now and if i didn't buy my ACR yesterday i would have definitely bought that.

If you have 3500.00 or so you could have something like this built.
Fired 2000 rounds or so and if I handed you this pistol, you would think it was unfired.
The fit and finish is that perfect, and also made all adjustments before it was sent out for Ion-Bond,
The 2000 rounds were after finishing, and around 700 give or take before.
Pistol was built by Millenium Custom II in Lake Worth Florida.
You could spend more, but this was at my top end of affordability.

What are the specs? I just sold a gun built by derek

 

[durabledan]

STI Frame and Slide in carbon steel
Shuemann Barrel
Ed Brown internals and Safeties
Aftec Extractor
Heinie Straight 8 Sights--Tritium
10-8 Trigger- Milled for smooth face
Thats as much as I can recall from memory as the build sheet is some where in the bowels of the safe. (I think)

Wow that's a pretty gun! Looks like black ops stuff. Absolutely beautiful. That cost as much my bulkhead we just had installed. Lol

how do you like that 9mm? I am looking for one.

 

[herdbull]

I love the 9mm and since it is a full size 1911 frame there is very little recoil, so fun to shoot. I almost bought another one on here but someone beat me to it
