Scott congrats on the new SR1911, I really like mine. If you are looking for an owb holster check this site out I bought one for my SR1911 and really like it. It is well worth the wait and money.

The 1911 is a great platform. Glad you have now seen the light. :thumbs2: :woohoo :thewave
I've loved the good old 1911 45 ACP for 43 years now, ever since I was introduced to it back in Basic Training.
It just feels right in my hands, and when it came time to qualify back then, I shot expert with it. :anamatedbanana
Never have found another handgun that feel so right.

Congrats on your 1911. Dry firing every chance you get will help get rid of that flinch. :cheers2:

Congratulations! My SR1911 is my favorite shooter, but I don't carry it because that beavertail digs in to my "side-meat"(certainly no fault of the pistol :roll: )...not to mention 43 ounces loaded is a load! I find the XD/Supertuck combo far more comfortable for carry. :txflag:

Be careful, this 1911 disease is very aggressive and it will spread. My safe is becoming heavily infected since my first one. I can't help but feel it will only spread. My XDs are becoming jeolous as they have even taken over my normal carry EDC option. :biggrinjester:

Congrats. I'm also very tempted by the Ruger 1911. Didn't see a single one at the gunshow today. I didn't inquire at every table so may have missed it, but there certainly weren't many around.

They are almost impossible to find. I was at 2 major gun stores today who both said they don't think they'll see another one for months.

I think my Glocks are going to be able to commiserate with your XD's.

Yeah... It will really test whether my belt is worthy. I will carry as soon as I do some IDPA with it and comfortable with the platform.

Now, go get yourself a copy of Kuhnhausen's manuals Vol 1 & 2 and sin no more :mrgreen:
Whoa... I'm ordering those right away. I'm going 'all-in' on this 1911 platform.
What's funny is, I still love my Glocks. It hasn't taken away from that at all... only added to the toys I want!

Thank you for your service! :patriot:
Mine feels right too!

Oh definitely. It's helped me a lot already, but usually later into a session, it will come up more again.
When it does, I put a snap cap in my magazine to test myself.


Great input everyone!! Thanks!!! :cheers2:

Nice shooting, nice gun!! .. I caught the bug a few years ago with a Springfield Loaded Champion, my current nightstand gun ... followed that with a Kimber UCII in .45 ACP which I carry in cooler weather ... In the market for No. 3, not sure what it will be but I can assure you that once the bug bites, there's no cure ... :patriot:

I know!!! I'm so sick.
All day I've been on STI's website and I'm really thinking the Trojan is the next 1911 for me.

What is wrong with me? My new Ruger isn't even a week old??? I'm sick. Sick I tell ya!
