[dvlerin41]

Looking to buy a 1911 soon for my EDC, just wanted to see what everybodys favorite 1911 make is?

[Bacon]

Springfield Armory hands down.

[MrEG62U]

springfield all day, take taurus off the list all together...

[dvlerin41]

Hey you never know, some people just like cheaper stuff. I mean theres nothing wrong with Taurus, just my 2cents, I read something the other day, some guy challenging his taurus 1911 to another guys Ed Brown Kobra Carry! I lol'ed

[Bacon]

You get what you pay for. Springfield Armory makes some of the best firearms out there period.

Low end production ($600-1500) - Springfield & Colt
High End production ($1500-2500) - ed brown
Custom ($4000-6000+) - Chuck Rogers, Dave Erickson

[Derek2]

stainless colt w/pearl grips!!

[MrEG62U]

never been a fan od pearl grips

[dvlerin41]

Me neither a little to flashy for myself, plus I like grips with good GRIP

Depends on your budget and needs.

I would hardly consider Springfield as low end. Is spending more than $1000 on a handgun even worth it when others that are cheaper have the same effect to the person on the wrong end of it? Not bashing the post or anything. :goodjob:

This is a good statement to go on. :goodjob:

I would hardly consider Springfield as low end.
Out of the three categories i mentioned, springfield fits the bill as low end production all the way. More technically its probably medium end production, but then that would leave room for RIA to come into the picture... and thats not gonna happen. :D

Is it? This is a car website, we should be the first to realize there is more to cars than just "getting from point A to point B". Same goes with weapons, electronics, clothes, and essentially every other good on the planet.

Come on man, we are asked the worlds most ridiculously open ended question, and you respond with this tid bit of obviousness? :( Put the smart pipe down and post some ballin ass 1911s :D

THE PERFECT CARRY 1911.
Retro'd out colt CCO by Jason Burton

Good point is good.

Not going to add input on this thread. But I would like to add a picture of my new CCO slide i got in. Bolted it up to the milspec frame just to see what she looked like. First thing I did out of the box was remove the series 80 FP safety. LULz..

And dammit if my camera is dead now. I will post pics in a few.

One pic up.
Colt CCO Slide (Factory NM Barrel, Night Sites, and Flat serrated top of slide)
FOR PIC ONLY: Springer MilSPec Frame (Custom hob job to come after I sell 3 more of my 1911s, lame)

I love 1911s. Would almost consider trading my XDM plus cash for one. Two of my co-workers both have 1911s and one of them is solid black with wood grips made by SA.

EDIT: His is just like this one:

Ooohhh.. The champion loaded operater is a beast. I likey!

[Bacon]

He paid close to $1300 for it too. Wasn't sure what model it is but that is exactly what it looks like. I will post a pic in a sec of my other co-workers 1911.

[Truegiant]

You can get those loaded springer champion operators for alot less than that now. Nice little shooters. I dont feel that any 1911 under 5" should have a rail but thats just a personal thing

[Bacon]

My other co-workers next to my XDM-40

Looking really good already!! Bob it and I will be in love haha

Kimber Custom II is a very nice fire arm and gets my vote on the pole. Springfield makes a great fire for a budget as well. 1911 are just a timeless classic that will never fadeaway. My hk usp40 is still my fav that I own and shoot.

Two of my Favorites I have seen

Para has some nice 1911's also. The warthog would be a great concealed carry.

*edit*
check out para
