First 1911?

[opie011]

@ about .6lbs lighter than a full size 1911...the ultimate 1911 edc IMO. Look for a blem and you can get them for just over $1k.

You can get them in 9mm of 45.

Coming from the man with the most awesomeist 1911 collection, I will check into this.

All of these "Metal-Heads"
I really need to find a better crowd to run with.

Are you waiting for someone to show you to the the door ?

I say SA Loaded full-size. Great pistol for the money. Of course can be had with ambi-safety if you're a lefty- like me. Parked or SS, depending on your fancy.

The SA loaded is sweet. My brother in-law let me hang on to his while hes over in the sandbox. I want one now

I like the 4" to 4 1/4" 1911s very much. One of the problems carrying 1911s in general is that the squared-off grip frame tends to "print" on your over garment. I have a bobtail DW 4 1/4" model that is really good from this standpoint. I also have a 3" Kimber that has the bottom of the gripframe rounded a little to control the printing issue. WB

Trigg3r- sounds to me like you have one already. Just buy your bro-in-law a new one when he gets back!!

Didn't see this put out yet but you might want to check out the SR1911

The SR1911 is a full size, the OP was wanting a 4" commander/Champion size. I would be interested to see the a 4" SR1911 come out though.

Is there a bunch of good reviews about Ruger's 1911 or something? It seems to be the default recommendation for a 1911 all of a sudden. I don't know what about Ruger's build quality in their other guns instills faith in people to buy a 1911 by them.

I have seen good things and liked the feel of one. Go check out hickok45 on YouTube he puts his to the test
