So that's what's bothering you about your RIA? Interesting, interesting. Take a look at these ink blots, now tell me what you see...

1911s: no one should have just one. I currently feel I am in withdrawal because I am down to just 2. I will fix that situation shortly by adding a kimber to the group.

I do that too much already. Really trying to exercise a little self control.

Self control and 1911's should not really be in the same conversation....

I went a little crazy one time on the Argentine 1911's because my wife's family is from Argentina...She always makes fun of my lack of love for other culture but I could buy an Argentine Colt or Ballister and say, "See...I respect your culture...Look how many of their 1911's I have!!!! I am a diversity machine baby...Lookie here....I got a Policia de Buenos Aires, Marina Del Guerro, Policia Nacional, Aeronautica Argentino, etc....And oh my...Not a 1911 but a Ballister Molina so it's not just the 1911's I love baby....I love you and the Ballisters as well..."

I too am a 1911 addict...And N frame Smith addict....

Asking the 1911 guys and gals how many are to many is like asking Sarah Winchester how many rooms in a house are enough.

I have about 1,000 rounds of .45 and no gun in that platform. I am on the fence of whether to get a Glock 21, Glock 36 or a 1911. My EDC is a Shield 40 and Glock 27 so the .45 will be for HD and range time. I also have enough components to load 3000 more rounds.

Dont want to jack the thread but what are the benefits of going to 1911 platform and best deal a $700 budget.

For that money you can pick up a nice Springfield Range Officer. It is for the money the best buy out there. I have 3 of them at this time as we love to shoot. 1 of them will be listed in the classifieds this evening. It is right in your price range. Look it up......

These guns are tack drivers out of the box, will eat anything you feed them within reason and are reliable as hell.

Plus....well....they are prettier than a Glock.......

one to carry les baer/ed brown/Dan wesson bobatail commander is my plan

one for the range/classes - I have the Springfield MC operator for this

one on the nightstand- springfeild can serve double duty

one as a wall hanger -will have a blued colt in .38 super for this

one as a range toy-0 might get an STI 2011 in .40 or 10mm
