Shot a 1911 for the first time today

[Wiseguy]

All I can say is Wow! Now I know why the 1911 guys love them so much.

The new acquisition is a Springfield Armory 1911 - A1.

I was able to bullseye three shots from my first magazine and all the rest in the nine ring.

What a sweet shooting gun. Very impressed.

My condolences to your wallet

 

[Mrs. Magnum]

This is a love affair you will never recover from!!

Congradulations on losing your 1911 virginity

 

[M1911]

Now you're in trouble

 

[djs764]

It's a sickness there is no cure for

 

[Brian48]

Now you've gone and done it. There's no turning back now.

 

[cmdwolf]

I luv my 1911!

 

[2000GM]

Just go ahead and order yourself up a Brownell's and Midway USA catalogs!

 

[Fixxah]

I hope you are reloading. You will burn through a lot of ammo and not even realize it.

1911 addiction

Myself and my brother in law are both 1911 addicted and proud of it. It is incurable (as if you really want a cure). This is a long and happy love affair in the making that you have begun. HAVE FUN

There is a reason why they are debated as the best handgun platform ever
I too love my 1911's

 

[whatluck]

Awesome! Now it's time for a 1911 of your own! (Pics please!)

 

[mbz4ever]

i have 3 1911 pistols - S&W full size tactical, Sig 1911 C3 and Colt Defender. i love them all.
1911 are pleasure to fire and very accurate.

It's a sickness there is no cure for

Hello, my name is Mike and I have a sickness........

It started around 1972. There is no cure only empty wallets and melted credit cards.

 

[dcmdon]

Its great that you shot a good one your first time. Now you are hooked.

There really isn't much that shoots better than a good 1911. And a bad one can turn you off of them for years.

 

[Tooth]

This is a good place to find a good gun. Time to go shopping.

 

[dcmdon]

When you are ready, let us know

1) budget
2) intended use

and people can make decent suggestons.

I made the mistake of purchasing a 1911 as my first pistol -- I now have nothing to look forward to.

 

[dcmdon]

You got a good one. The third handgun I ever bought was a Gold Cup that was horribly loose and the trigger felt like someone drenched it in 30 weight oil and rolled it in beach sand.

Turned me off to the 1911 for 15 years.

Then I shot a Les Baer PII and I was toast.

 

[HooVooLoo]

I refuse to handle a 1911 because I know that once I do, I will feel compelled, no, DRIVEN, to purchase one, and I will not be able to stop myself from doing so, and also purchasing like 10 boxes of ammo for it.

It is why I have not baked a nice chocolate cake in many months...Because if I do so, I must eat it all. And I am a thin guy, heh. But my wallet is thinner than my appetite. :-(

Wah, I want one! *grumbles*

HooVoo,
It gets worse. After experiencing Les Baer excellence, I have taken on a project gun. Its a Colt lightweight officers. Its been totally reliable with hardball. I'll be testing it with hp tomorrow. I'm hoping I can end up with an attractive, decent shooter for under $1000. Its kindof addictive. Compared to a glock, its much more interesting. Glocks will never be pretty. You just buy it and shoot it. Its the ultimate firearm appliance. These are actually fun to work on.
