Thanks for the heads up. I like good natured banter.
I wouldn't own an ugly a$$ Glock
If you are at all like me and start out with a 1911, you might have a hard time liking anything else. There is basically the 1911 trigger and everything else(with a few exceptions)
I have tried a lot of stuff: Sig P226, custom shop CZ, S&W M&P(3), Walter Q5. I end up selling them because I like shooting my 1911 that much.
Look at the Springfield Armory Range Officer series. I would consider this a good entry level pistol that would take a person a long time to grow out of.
I hear people talk about 9 mm 1911's being finicky but I have not seen this with mine. It runs fine. Of course CM knows it has a little slide rattle but I suppose that is one of the reasons it runs so good.
I like ya already.
OP - I know I was just chestbeating on the SR1911 platform earlier, but I saw this and cannot imagine it wouldn't check all your boxes right out of the gate. If it weren't for round #2 of blinds for the new pad cutting into my fun fund, I'd be adding this to my cart instead of sharing this link. Maybe a little upscale for your first 1911... but why not?? This is a sweet price for a brand-new Valor.

Stoopid tablet. Hopefully this works. Be forewarned this is in Nancy Nine caliber! But still a really nice price.Linky no worky

Yeah, agreed. My first 1911 was a V-Bob in 45, and I really should have started with a Ruger or Springer before getting into deeper water.Fair money but I think the OP wants to wade into this not dive......

Yowza, $200 a window?!? I'm over $1200 for both floors, but mine are more like $60 average per window, with doubles being not quite twice that. It's a racket, but my stripper wife likes her privacy I guess.I can't believe how expensive blinds (window coverings) are! We live in a mid-century home (read lot's of windows and odd sizes) so we are doing just a couple windows at a time. The room darkening versions really get us. It's like $200 to do one window set in our bedroom and we have three!
This is why I only own 1 gun.
But I'm okay. It's an investment that I will recoup when I sell the house. Just like the rest of the renovations.
