Ready to step out of the Minor League

[Laufen]

I just got back from the range, and had a hell of a good time. I'm no Annie Oakley, but I do ok. At this point I feel like my pistols, and probably their triggers are holding me back. I think I'm ready for something better.

Anyone have any experience with Sig XFives?

The desire for a good trigger can only be quenched by a 1911 ... tread forth my son, you shall thank me

There is nothing quite like the feel of a 1911.

I know, it's totally true. I also need a 9mm since I have a mountain of it. A nice blued 1911 9mm with billboard target sights would be perfect....longslide 6" even better.

A friend of mine ordered a Star Modelo 9mm (1911 style) surplus gun from AIM. He picked it up today and I punched the shit out of the 10x at 15 yards.....when it would feed. It's mags suck, but she shoots great.

Not sure I'd want a 6" 1911 in any caliber (except 10mm), carrying it would be a bitch and unless you just really suck at follow-ups w/ 147gr ammo, it'd just be a range toy.

I'd hunt with it.

I know you probably wouldn't want it. But have you thought about building up a G34 maybe one of the MOS ones with a trijicon on top

A crappy 1911 is still better than most other pistols(Glocks).

That's right, now gimme all your guns. Even those stupid Glocks.

 

[Hayata]

Not sure if anyone makes a 6" 1911 in 9mm.

RIA makes one in .45acp and 10mm.

I have a Citadel 1911 in 9mm and it is a hoot to shoot.

Only five inches, though.

A high end 1911 isn't as good as my G19.

Make sure you got those good mags. Gotta keep Wilson rich!!

I'd be happy to see the best Block trigger go up against a (decent) standard 1911 trigger any day

Fuck trigger. I'll still be firing at 11 rounds while you're clearing jams.

It's the most important part of the pistol.

lol, I knew it was coming, the inevitable "it jams" rhetoric

I will say though, if you use some piece of crap mag it can happen, I've had crappy mags and FTEs in HKs and G17's, G19's & G21s, so it's not like any firearm is immune to crappy mags .... but some are bit more picky
