Could have been the mags; my 4" Springfield 1911 goes bang every time I pull the trigger. I had one stovepipe when I was breaking it in, but it's been flawless ever since (600+ rounds).Euclidean said:The 4" 1911 idea I'd personally skip on unless you just get some really amazing deal. I played with a 4" Springfield GI recently and it had one misfeed at the end of 3 magazine's worth of ammunition. That's just not acceptable for a carry gun to do that. Of course 1911s are a whole different animal and it could have just been because he was using the wrong magazine or the moon was in the wrong phase. It was however a very nice gun. I'd just want that little problem corrected personally.
Considering the three you listed as possible choices, my vote would go to the 1911 for the following reasons.gregarat said:Im saving for a new ccw piece. I am torn between the Springfield XD, or the Glock in the .45 G.A.P.
I may even decide to get a 4" Springfield 1911. But I am really intrigued by the G.A.P. cartridge.
So what do you think?
I too fear that the G.A.P. may not be around that long. But then again I was resistant to the 40 when it came out. (I was wrong on that one.)gregarat said:But I am really intrigued by the G.A.P. cartridge.

Im not a big guy (5'11", 160-170lbs, lean) and I want something for concealed carry. Would a fullsize 1911 be practical?
At the moment, Im thinking about the Kimber pro carry II, or the Kimber Poly 10. Or a 4" Springfield.
