if you had to trust a 1911 with your life, what brand would you get?

>>32781997
Gotta go with glock brand when times get real

>>32781997
deagle brand 1911

>>32782341
Brand doesn't have anything to do with it. 1911's seem to be hit and miss. A buddy has a magnum research 1911 and it can't feed HP ammo. My Springfield eats everything.>>32782341

I have

Norinco 1911, don't laugh it's true. Made true to spec and of some of the best steel ever put into a handgun. Godfather runs a custom shop and love building off off Norinco 1911s.

>>32782618
this makes a bit of sense to me since the chinks almost definitely stole the plans/design back in the fifties and haven't changed anything about it since

>>32781997

I EDC a Remington R1 Enhanced.
Added an oversized firing pin stop, wolff recoil spring, Ed Brown night sights, arched msh, and a short length aluminum trigger.
I use factory mags only.
About 4k rounds without any malfunctions of any kind.

It's extremely reliable and accurate.
And with the oversized fps, the rearward slide velocity is decreased, which reduces recoil and muzzle climb.
Closest upgrade to a free lunch you can put on a 1911 imo.

Thompson SMG. I don't mind the weight and they are proven in manywars. I'd have drum and stick mags.

Pistols are what you have when you didn't expect to need a weapon. Rifles and SMG are what you bring if serious.

>>32783268

>duh, i'd want a thompson machinegun!
Hmmmmm. You were that kid, weren't you?
>hey guys when you get shot you have to go 'ughh' and lay down
>nuh uh! I have a forcefield!

In all seriousness? Any, used, from a competitor that knows it runs. 1911s are IDPA/IPSC guns. I love the fuck out of them, but they have to be honed and if you paid under a grand I wouldn't trust it. Wartime relics and service pistols are a crapshoot. They might be tanks. They might make Kimbers look reliable. It's down to the exact gun you've got. It's the same way with the RIA, Norinco, SIG and Remington models. You can't trust them straight out of the box.

But holy fuck a good built 1911 is the ultimate.

Really? I've heard from a lot of people that they've had quite good experiences with the Deage Brand 1911s, despite the retarded name and branding. What magazines does he use and did he ever talk to Magnum Research about it?

>>32782618
People are quick to dismiss the Chinese, but they genuinely make pretty adequate weapons on average, and sometimes, when they put their will into it, they can make some very nice weapons, such as the PolyTech Legend series of AKs, VERY finely made, running the action feels like glass on glass.

Honestly, it's kind of hard to fuck up a 1911, even the Turks and Flips make ok ones.

In some places (where they're not banned from import), it's apparently a thing to buy a basic Norinco brand 1911 (I think they're of a bit of a cheaper make these days), and have it converted into a functional racegun at a low cost, they're supposed to be pretty nice still, aside from the odd sharp edge and tool mark.

Older than your dad.

For that matter .38 Super exists, so it's not like a similar idea wasn't there, on top of predecessors to the 1911 prototype being in .38ACP (not .380ACP, .38ACP, imagine .38 Super but with a weaker load)

No grip safety and slightly higher capacity, with very low recoil, yet a potent enough cartridge, I love me some old Stars. The Spaniards did them in both 9mm Luger and 9mm Largo, they only really got to .45ACP much later.

I don't think he contacted them. He has been using OEM mags. He has the nicer model with the flared barrel to replace a bushing. He payed good money for it. Like 650 or 700 bucks.

I would say their ARs are, but looking at Colt 1911s part for part when compared to the price range they're actually much better. They're higher priced guns you can start to pay the Pony Tax on, but a 1991 is very nice for the money.

>>32781997

One I put through its paces and know it works, if its a lemon id sell it, if its demonstrating some kinda hangup id get it ironed out.

Sometimes a person gets the drop on you and thats it. No way to perfectly protect yourself. Setting up a good enough defense is good enough.

I think I would want a Heavy Slide though, just to make the action more smooth.


>>32782371
this could be a feed ramp issue, like chaos theory suggests even a microscopic difference can have a huge effect... it may be deflecting the bullet too high as its pushed out of the magazine
