Convince me to not buy a stainless Series 70 1911 or a stainless 92FS "Ghost" as my first handgun. They're the same price.
I really like my 1911, but I never like shooting the 92f, so I would say go with the 1911.

The Beretta is more practical for virtually every situation. I would pick the 1911 though.
I'd say 92fs. Less reloading at the range, cheaper ammo, and you can pretend to be John Woo if you ever get two of them.
Also stainless 1911's are for slack jaws and faggots.
>>31957013
I'd maybe start with the fact that the 92FS is a better gun and that the military specifically stopped using the 1911 in favor of the 92FS.
>inb4 b-but some operators USE THE 1911!!!
You're not an operator.
>>31957013
the 92fs is just such more of a breath of fresh air, especially that one. It looks like it belongs in some futuristic anime and that's cool even if you're not into that shit. The 1911 is garbage as a CCW and has few rounds. It's still cool but I'd rather own a 92fs before a 1911. 9mm vs 45ACP is also a big concern, and I'd rather have 9mm before 45ACP. The 1911 will probably feel nicer to shoot, but if you plan on using this for protection, you'd rather have the 92fs. your dick isn't going to be any bigger because you have a 45ACP instead of 9mm.
>>31957013
1911 if you are a historical gun appreciation nerd.
92fs if you want an all around better handgun.
15 shots vs 7. No contest.
>>31957013
the 1911 is a pretty shitty handgun in 2016. i don't care if it's some stainless s70. 7 fucking rounds in a full size? unless you really need a single stack full size, what's the point?
>>31957077
to that you could just start talking about the P-09 then.

21+1 in 9mm, although if you ever only had the smaller mags, you'd be fucked, so in reality it's a bit dumb maybe and you'd be better off with P-07 still with 17 round mags, where the 21 round p-09 mags do fit.

>15 shots
18 rounds if you aren't a pleb clinging to Beretta factory magazines. Get MEC-GAR bruv.
Also, get a Vertec.

>vertec
if you want to never have sex in your life due to your choice in handguns, then choose this handgun.
>>31957013
Get the 92FS. Always get the 92FS. It's big and bulky, but otherwise one of the best handguns ever made.
The only thing you could do better would be to get a P38 "Grey Ghost"
>>31957013
If it's in good condish, I'd go with the Series 70 every time.
>>31957184
The fuck is wrong with you?
>>31957013
Why not both? My beretta is more fun to shoot. I would choose it in a defense situation. But my 1911 is more sexy.
Or you could go with a Ruger 1911, it has a series 70 firing pin, none of that series 80 bullshit. Plus it comes in stainless, and you'd save a bit of dosh.
>>31957292
The 92FS is a P38 with a longer slide.

Compelling argument.

People have bought guns for shittier reasons.
>>31957013
Relevant question for this thread, who still makes all stainless steel 1911s that are at least slightly above average quality? I had a hardballer once that I regretted selling and now I want a 1911 again, but I don't really know the manufacturers anymore.
>>31959898
almost everyone has a stainless model because everyone and their grandmother makes a 1911. Look at colt, Springfield, ruger, Remington
>>31958558
You're culturally deprived, man.
>>31957013
the 1911 is a fun range toy, still a fairly practical duty weapon but the beretta is more of a duty weapon
you cant go wrong with either but ive always found 1911s to be a "next level" pistol, not something to start with IMO. The breakdown, the maintenance (depending) the possible upgrades make it a bit more to take on if youre starting. You certainly could, but I'd say the beretta is a little easier
also fuck all these people saying muh 8 rounds. I learned on a .38 revolver, capacity doesnt matter right now
