Nice bait thread.

>>32983598
You can get a 1911 for less than $350 that's as reliable as original GI guns.

Stop buying Kimbers.

>>32983598
I always hear about problems with those $1000 1911's and the need to break them in. I bought a cheap MetroArms 1911 and it shot perfectly right out of the box and it cost me $400.

>>32983598
But, you don't

>1 In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, "Thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it workith. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain."

>2 "And shouldst thou muck with it, and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm."

>3 And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust.

>4 Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it, and these profaners didst try and fit more rounds of ammunition into the magazines than the holy number of seven, appointed for the .45.

>5 And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.

>5a And these men didst chamber it for cartridges whose calibers starteth with numbers less than the Holy Number 4. And lo the Lord did cause great grief amongst these men when their enemies who were struck in battle with these lesser numbers didst not fall but did continue to cause great harm.

If I was worried about the money I spend on guns I'd be worried about a lot more things in life, like how much I fap at botesluts and how many years it's been since I've been on a date.

It all just gets so tiresome.

>6 And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.

>7 Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men, the lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them.

>8 And being a deceitful spirit, the lord of the underworld did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did appear to function.

>9 And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make them appear safe.

>10 But man being stupid did not understand these new pistols and didst proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol and with the trigger cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continue to gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed.

>11 And when man had been totally ensnared with the plastic pistol, the lord of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-Boom to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land.

>12 Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin to work as the Lord had intended.

>13 And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land, except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the land and who were sent to the place of eternal damnation by the followers of John.

Ikr I just bought a glock for 450 and out of the box its more reliable, more comfortable, more modifiable and will out shoot a 1911. 1911s are fudd guns. Only good for hanging on a wall

>>32983598
>1000 for anything suppressor ready
Ftfy

>>32985860
50 years from now all the parts of your Glock will have been replaced many times over, it will occupy the same space as the orginal Glock you bought but thats all. 50 years from now a 1911 that is now 50 years old will be 100 years old and function perfectly with all original parts.

>>32985899
50 years from now if all those things you said happened, I still wouldn't have payed more than 1000 dollars on the gun. Get out of here with your fudd logic.

I still have my llama I paid $200 for. The slide stop was busted and the grip safety haven't worked since I've had it, but damn is it accurate and reliable.

>>32983598

Based on the various accounts I've read over the years on that big ol' internets, it turns out, ironically enough that the cheaper 1911s function better than the $1,000 ones

>>32983641
>You can get a 1911 for less than $350
Tell me more plz

>>32988506
Not sure what he's talking about except for maybe the llama pistols. It could be buying old parts and building one. There are some parts kits out there, but I think they'd be at least $350.

>>32988506
He's probably talking about the Turk ones. They're indeed pretty good, although the triggers are kind of heavy on them.
