Modern 1911 recommendations

How dare you insult my Walther PPQ. I also have a P22, but I have no clue how you put Walther's Umarex/Arnsberg guns ahead of Walther's guns made in Ulm. There's really no comparison.

Had a p99.......nuff said. Btw when smith was importing walther their CS sucked!!!

About the only "modern" update to the 1911 is to make it a double stack to compete with growth of the Tupperware guns. Everything else is options or accessories.

Drop the modern tag if want 1911. Lots of Al/Sc framed 1911's to keep weight down. Lots of required features will make search tougher.

Not a big fan of the double stack 1911 which sucks because ai was all about the idea till I held a para warthog.

I have 2 SW99s from that incestuous relationship. S&W did me right when I screwed up and bent the slide stop spring on my SW99 .45. I sent it back to S&W on their dime via FedEx (as they suggested), enclosed a note saying I screwed up and gave them my information to charge me for the repair. They fixed it and sent it back, no charge.

There was a problem with my SW99 .40 Compact as some customers were having a problem with cracked mag followers. They replaced my followers and threw in an extra mag for my troubles.

I've had nothing but good service on my S&Ws.

Never had an issue with my P22/PPQs. Now that they're out of Ft. Smith, AR, maybe it's better now?

I've got a P14 double stack, and it's junk.

I like my Kimber Stainless Ten II, but the ammo will weigh you down.

(And no rail or threaded barrel)

Yea that was shortly after they got sued by glock for the sw glock line. I had a p99 in 40 that after 60 rounds of factory started peening the guide rails.

Sent it back 3 different times, the first two the sent it right back saying " aftermarket modification was not included in warranty", I responded by saying that their guns weren't supposed to shoot bullets?

The last time I got a hold of a dude who actually knew what he was doing and I sent it directly to him and he replaced it for me. I got it in the mail and promptly sold it. Figured if I wanted german gun in the future I would just go HK. Btw I miss my USP Tactical in 45.

Never have bought another sw semi or walther again. I will own sw wheel guns but thats about it.

The only problems I ever had with the p22 was the ejector roll pin working out, had the first 2 generations do that to me. But by the third gen it worked perfectly.
