Thanks for the offer Rey. We got the opportunity to shoot a tricked out Norinco commander at the Collin County Range before it closed. I was amazed! Great trigger, accuracy & recoil management. That made a believer out of me. My long want (need) list grew by one that day but I found a NIB S & W MP 40 for a great price & jumped on it. The long hot Texas summer has taught me that I need a compact for CCW. My next gun will be a MP compact when they come out. After that will be a 1911.Reysc wrote:Jim, it's about time you star thinking 1911s!! i promise you won't regret it!! As soon as I slow down from work ( when will that be!!) You are welcome to shoot what I have.. so you can make your decision w/c way to go...Just bring your 45 ammo..jbenat wrote:I read the same article in American Sportsman about the PT1911. Sounded pretty good. I saw one at the Denton Gun Show on 7/22/6. At that time, it was priced at $460.00. Maybe it will be priced the same at the next Mesquite show.
I've been kind of keeping a eye out for negatives about it but I have seen very few. Except for people that just don't like Taurus. A 1911 is in my future but not sure which one yet. I'm partial to S & W but Springfield Arms sounds good too. I would like a Kimber but that would probably break the bank. Too many choices, glad I got some time.Dang, it's getting expensive..
Personally, I like a Taurus PT 1911.. I"m also shopping around for a RIA that has some upgrades e.g. beaver tail safety grips etc...at a decent price..
Later Jim!
Juanita (my better half) will be buying a 1911 next. Maybe she will let me shoot it occasionally?
By the way, how's Leo? You haven't shot him lately have you?
