Choose 1 1911

[DocHoliday]

I need help in eliminating some options. Looking for accuracy and reliability. Pure shooting fun outside is the main reason and prefer stainless.

Dan Wesson Bobtail Commander for an off the shelf gun

Looking to stay close or below 1,000

I went with the sig because a springfield loaded wasnt listed..

Springfield Range officer then

No need for night sights if it's a plinker, so I'd stick with the fiber sights.

 

[DocHoliday]

Funny how the voting is going down. Dead heat

Remington Enhanced. Without a doubt the best 1911 buy in their price range.

I voted Sig rail gun. I have a Sig Scorpion and it's one of the nicest 1911s I own. It also serves as my nightstand gun since it can handle the railed light and comes with night sights. When you feel the slide on the Sig compared to everything else I have, it has the best feel by far. This is as compared to Colts, a Kimber, a Springfield and a RIA. That Sig just feels like it's on ball bearings.

No Kimber?

 

[mssmith44]

Why no Para Ordnance on the list?

 

[DocHoliday]

I guess the Pro Series and Kimber would be close to the same ballpark. I had these listed because it was a list of the inventory on hand.

 

[DocHoliday]

Does anyone have or have shot any of them?

Does anyone have or have shot any of them?

I have fired the Basic Colt, not impressed. I own a R1 Enhanced and very surprised and impressed with it. I have a Kimber Eclipse and would take the R1 over it. S&W I don't do, I do not like external extractors.

 

[threedhuntr]

I have a S&W e-series and like it a lot. A little loose but it is a "off the shelf" gun.

Heard good things about the Remy enhanced.

 

[BigMoose]

None of the above.

I want a Union Switch and Signal M1911A1

I want a Union Switch and Signal M1911A1

That's an interesting older piece.

 

[gunman41mag]

I like CASPIAN, but it wasn't on the poll

 

[efpeter]

Of the choices, I voted SIG rail gun. Lights are always a fun option to have, but they limit holster options.
If it were going to double as a carry gun, I would go with the Colt of those listed.
