Mid-Range 1911

[SSGSAD]

I voted S&W, I am a S&W guy, all the way. You can get a Doug K., for around $1400.00 it is built like what he uses, in comp.....

I currently have a Dan Wesson CBOB & VBOB. They are great guns. I have had STI's, Springfields, and Kimbers before and keep coming back to the Dan Wessons for the Mid Range 1911's. So my vote is for Dan Wesson, but on a side note I wish I never would have sold my STI Lawman, or my Springfield TRP.

I would look for a Colt XSE myself, although Springfields do rock as well.

I've had bad luck with (two) 1911 Custom II Kimbers. I have no experience with Springfield's 1911s except for the full size G.I. Model which I can not recommend to anybody. You would do yourself a big favor if you checked out the new S&W1911PC sku:170343. It has the Performance Center action job with a 3.5-4 lb trigger, a Briley Spherical Bushing, and slide ported cuts---that look great! It lists for $1539 full retail. The problem may be finding one.
I have never had any issues with my S&W 1911DK that I've been shooting for many years, or my (2) Gold Cup Trophy Colts.

I liked my Dan Wesson PM-7 so much I just bought a PM-9. Should have it Thursday.

Put a couple of mags through my Dan Wesson Valor so far, then picked up a Springfield with a threaded barrel. My son was lusting after that, wanted to put one of those ridiculous compensators on, but he has neither the age nor the money, so I made him watch me buy it. I think it'll go better with a can anyway. As I'm getting over my illness, I'll be able to get out and see what it takes to make them cry, but I'll still CC the Para P12.

Tagged just to get a 1911 education..

I just got an all stainless Sig Carry. Really nice fit and finish. I adjusted the trigger and now have almost no take up and a short reset. I really have no complaints.

I too have had bad experience with Springfield GI models. Kind of turned me off of getting one of their nicer ones.

I like Springfield armory. I'm a wh@re like that though.
