1911 General

>>33142703
>Springfield TRP
Good choice, anon. I have a TRP and a Sig Scorpion 1911, both are the best non-custom 1911s I've own across the 9-10 I've had pass through my hands. Only disagreement is
>Chip McCormick mags
Wilson Combat > Chip

>>33142703
I have had bad experiences with the Chips 10 rounders. They have tilting followers and feel cheap.

Wilson Combat 8 rounders are my go-to mag. Never had a failure with those.
Never had a failure with my Nighthawk mags either.

Had about two out of the Chip.

>>33142703
I just bought a SS TRP. I can't wait to take it to the range. $1,200 is a nice price. I think some places try sell them for a couple hundred more than that. You got the adjustable night sights? I bet those are nice.

I was pretty disappointed with the chip McCormick 10 rounder when I found it will over insert into an empty magwell with the slide locked bad since the baseplate doesn't adequately stop the mag and jams will ensue.

>>33142761
>>33142763
Not OP, but that is nice to know. I've been meaning to order some of the CM mags (maybe 10 rounders) but I'll see what WC has too.

I've never had any problems with the Chip 10 rounders in my Sig TacOps 1911, I might try out some wilson 10 rounders though now since people have mentioned it, I just really liked the way the black base pad on the Chip McCormicks covers the extended part of the mag
>>33142789
Nah I got the fixed Novac night sights. I dont really have a need for the adjustable.

Looks like Chip's kids are going hungry this month lol

How are the RIA 1911s for a poorfag option?

>>33143064
Good starter 1911, a way to get your feet wet and decide if you really like 1911's or not without breaking the bank. If you like it eventually move on to a more expensive model though. Wouldn't recommend for anything other than the range though, just my personal experience, maybe they QC has improved since I last shot one.

>>33143096
Yeah, it'd be pretty much just a range toy or a plinking gun.
I'm looking for my first pistol and the RIA 1911s seem to be about the only interesting tihng in my price range.
I know I could probably get a glock for not a whole lot more money but I'm the kind of faggot who feels like glocks just lack character.

>>33143064
Not a bad choice desu. supposedly they're higher line of guns get a good bit of handwork/individual attention, cant think of another manufacturer offering that for just under 7 bills. what are you thinking about getting from them?

>>33142703

Whats the standard mag size they come with?

>>33143131
Then its good for that. A really good mid tier 1911 that doesnt break the bank is the Ruger SR 1911 series too, comes in black and stainless, and an option for a rail model.

>>33143170
The TRP comes with 8 two round mags sadly

>>33143158
Probably just the 5" GI model, aimsurplus has them for under 450bux

>>33143191

Damn. 8 rounds feels low...

It looks like a really good gun tho.

>>33143224
That's why I buy 10 rounds mags instead. 10+1 is pretty good for me.

>>33142703
>ten round Chip McCormick mags

I use them in my 1980's SA 1911A1 G'vt model, and I've never had a FTF with them, or with SA mags after about 2K rounds. I've had a couple fail to feeds with old surplus mags, so I got rid of them.

>>33143173
seconded. got one of those for my first 1911 and hasnt had a malfunction yet. plus you can find em used for like 625-650 on armslist a lot.

>>33143218
not a bad idea, not exactly sure what their current offerings are but you may want to see if they have a model for a little more with non GI sights and an extended beavertail or atleast non GI grip safety. those are usually peoples major gripes with GI pattern 1911s. Citadel might be worth a look too, hear they have better triggers/steel than RIA but again its been a while since i did my research.

>>33143064
>How are the RIA 1911s for a poorfag option?

A buddy of mine bought one, and I was impressed. Right out of the box it held a 2" group at 7 yards, and usually the 1911's need a couple hundred rounds break-in.

It had a tight fit, and we swapped a couple parts when we were cleaning our gear, and I'm convinced the Rock Islands ARE milspec, and maybe even tighter than spec.

He got his for about $500 new at J&G last year.

>>33142761

I've had 3 Wilson mags fall on me in 3 different 1911's and exactly 0 of my 9 Chip mags fail.

>>33145973
Chip pls go

>>33142761
>>33142794
the Wilson Combat 10 rounders suck too because the overinsertion stop breaks off if you look at it funny. Stick to the 8 rounders and you're good though.

Seriously, what the shit Wilson. I barely used the mag and it popped off.

>>33143191
8 two round magazines? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just ship it with 2 7 rounders?

>>33143628
>Right out of the box it held a 2" group at 7 yards, and usually the 1911's need a couple hundred rounds break-in.

When they talk about break in periods, its for reliability, not accuracy. Also 2" aint shit.

>>33146478
I'd guess by his lack of knowledge that he was shooting offhand so we can't judge the gun by a 7 yd grouping.

>>33146500
What does offhand shooting have to do with lack of knowledge? Regardless, any good can can put holes in holes at that range.

Can someone post that 1911 infographic?

>buying Remington handguns
Are you just pretending to be retarded?

>>33148882
Pretty good. My local shops have them for closer to 700, with only two mags.

>>33148882
NICE! I love SA's wood grips on the old school finish. Magazines aren't cheap, so 4 (more than what comes stock) extra mags is great.
What type of holster did you get?

I work at an FFL and so far they have been the best people to deal with on the phone.

>>33150666

>666

Well the mags and holster were part of a rebate so I haven't gotten them yet but I'm sure its not going to be anything worth writing home about.

I did order an alien gear holster too. I'm thinking about trying an AIWB sometime also.

>>33142703
what's a good starter 1911 for someone I just got old enough for permits and such so what should I get? always been interested in gun history and such, but live in cali so they hard to come by

>>33150774
This is a good first 1911. >>33148882
Springfield GI Milspec

>>33150740
Ok, so the SA holster. It may not be a custom leather IWB, but it should still be a solid holster. I'm thinking of ordering one from them for the range.

>>33150774
>>33150798
FYI $749 is the lowest price SA wants their distributors to sell the mil spec for.

Needs to include PARA in that bottom group. They're great quality for the money.

TRP is g2g except the sights are setup for 6 o clock at 25 yards by default. IMO it's a combat handgun and should be POA-POI. If that's your thing springfield will change out your front sight for free.

Other than that minor gripe, great gun, flawless through about 1000 rounds now.

>>33146470
idk what anon got, but mine did indeed come with 2 7 rounders.

>>33154127
I think thats springfield's standard. My RO Operator came with 2 7 rounders as well.
