Return to the 1911...

[cmb]

I don't do a lot of posting and I have beenmighty busy over the last 6 months and in that time I have done a decent amount of skeet and sporting clay shooting but not much handgunning... It was past time and I don't usually go more than a couple weeks without some practice so only shooting twice in that time is not preferable...

I respect so many on the forum because of their reviews and honest opinions and posting of others they have read on certain subjects...

In my personal stable of pistols I really only have 5 handguns which are viable candidates for carry [two snubs a Colt Lawman 357 and Taurus 85; and 3 semiautos SA 1911, Ruger P89 9mm, PA-63 .380 (Walther clone)]. My BUG is a P32 which lives in my pocket regardless of my primary. Over these last months I have been avoiding the 1911, been carrying the T85 for size and weight or the P89 for capacity.

After a good session at the range this week I remember why I went with the 1911, it just fit me, is natural for me, I am more accurate with it, it is thinner and easier to conceal, better sights I just renewed my passion for it. I will still carry the snubby some as it is versatile in carry position but all in all I am back to the 1911...

I think I am going to pick up a CM 10 round power mag for the occasions I feel slighted by round count and then get in some more practice with the 1911!

Welcome back.

Once you go 1911 you will not go back.

1911s rule! Like bolt action rifles and Harley Davidson motorcycles, they aren't the most modern design, but they just plain exude class and are still around for a reason. Like they say about Harley's, "If ya gotta ask, you wouldn't understand".

Welcome back! You will not regret your desicion.

I am, albeit slowely, comming around to accept this. My recent purchase of a SA Mil-Spec SS has altered my views on the 1911 platform significantly.

I second the welcome back...The 1911 is (IMO) truly the best of the best as far as personal defense. I live in S. Louisiana so I know bout the concealment issues, but the comfort of what I have with me outweights all other!!!
