I love me some 1911.

[zibby43]

My first 1911 was a Springfield Armory Loaded model. I put several hundred trouble-fee rounds down the pipe with it in my first month of ownership but ended up selling it within that first month to fund something else I had been longing for. I have regretted the decision to sell that 1911 ever since.

I filled the 1911 void recently when I picked this TRP up:

I enjoyed the TRP so much that I went ahead and picked up another 1911. I'll continue to shoot/train extensively with my polymer pistols, which I prefer to carry (9mm Walther PPQ, Glock 26, M&P 9 Shield). I like to keep caliber consistent for my carry pistol, and all of the aforementioned pistols have fairly similar controls (aside from the M&P [thumb safety] and PPQ [trigger guard mag release]).

IMHO, nothing beats the sheer shooting pleasure of a 1911 at the range. Sold my Sig P229R to make way for this:

Understood completely. Bought my first 1911 in 1984. Haven't been without at least one ever since. You have 2 wonderful pistols, enjoy them.
Might be time for me to look at that Detonics MTX again. Feelin' the bug.

They're hard not to love, that's for darn sure.

Thanks for the kind words. The 1911 bug is quite dangerous - this I know.

What has been the favorite 1911 you have owned?

Yes.

NICE!! You'll love the Ed Brown.....

NICE!! You'll love the Ed Brown.....

This. It is one of the most accurate pistols I own and the quality can be felt.

If I wasn't 140lbs, and it wasn't huge (full size) I'd carry mine every day.

I'll be buried with my 1911. Lol

Et tu Brutus? Et tu?

I have the twin to that TRP.. It's a fine pistol.

 

[zibby43]

Yes.

NICE!! You'll love the Ed Brown.....

Thank you! I am already in love with it.

I thought that my TRP was put together well (and it definitely is) but the Kobra is really something else. Racking the slide is buttery smooth.

Haha! Time to pick up a 4.25" 1911 with a full-size frame and bobtail . . . perhaps?

Et tu Brutus? Et tu?

Gorgeous collection sir!

It really is. You made an excellent choice.

I have the TRP with the accessory rail and bull barrel, more fun than my Nighthawk.
Next step might be switching out some parts, but honestly, I don't see the point, it shoots like a dream and I've never had a single hiccup from it.

If it ain't broke - don't fix it. Got any pics of that beauty?

The only thing I changed out on my rail-less TRP was the FLGR. I picked up an Ed Brown GI-style guide rod setup instead. I prefer not having to use a tool to take down the pistol.

 

[repeter1977]

I am looking at getting the TRP with the rail for my next pistol. From everything i have heard and seen on it, shoots amazing. I already have 2 Kimbers with rails, and a GI Springfield, and they all run smooth.

what's a 1911?!?!?

Well, that's your 50th post. Jump on over to the classifieds and pick one up.

what's a 1911?!?!?

Not sure, but James Yeager says it sucks so nobody should ever want one

not really sure why my post got deleted. They are by far my favorite designed pistol! I have a few to prove it haha
