Searched the catalog, no 1911 thread. Let's talk about ours. I bought this Springfield Mil-Spec threee years ago right after they started making them in the US again. Thought I'd be happy with it stock, but have slowly been having my gunsmith change stuff on it. Should have bought a damn TRP initially.

I was going to post, but I don't want to be associated with a thread with a Springfield.
I'm planning on picking one of these up pretty soon here.
Any thoughts?
>>34074285
I have the Sig TacOps and it's my second 1911. The first one I owned was the Ruger SR1911 and I sold it because it felt so cheap. Been really enjoying the Sig though.
Also, wtf is with the captcha shit? You can select everything correctly and it keeps denying it. Seems to have turned to complete shit the past three months.

>no MIM parts
yet the frame is cast, not forged
Pass.
>>34075703
Such a shame. The SR1911 looks fantastic, has all the parts like I want, yes has ruger's patented cast frame. Big stumbling block.
>>34074786
God people like you are gay.
Do you have interest in Ruger or S&W?
How about Colt?
They fucked gun owners in the same ways for their own gain, and yet people moved on and continued to buy from them.
The gun ain't the company, and the money has already been spent long before the shit ends up in your hand, so think of it as giving your local gun store money and not Springfield.

What's wrong with cast?
Does that mean ruger is out too?

>They fucked gun owners in the same ways for their own gain, and yet people moved on and continued to buy from them.
>Ruger
Bill ruger is dead. And his company almost went under from their bullshit. His kids wised up.
>S&W
Went bankrupt TWICE because of their bullshit and is no longer owned by the anti-gun fucks
>Colt
Look at colt. Look at them. They're about to be dead.
And Springfield is about to join them in "Oh shit we fucked up".
So until there's a change of management/ownership, Fuck springfield.
>1911s
Have a look at my Favorities.
S&W E Series and a Sig Tacops 1911 Traditional.
Best tree fiddy I ever spent. Loved slapping this thing together.

>sig
you know they make p220s and p227s right?
>>34077619
>you know they make p220s and p227s right?
I don't like either of those guns.
I have a Sig M400, a 938, a M11A1, and the Tacops.
I prefer all of my .45 ACP handguns to be 1911s.

>What's wrong with cast?
Literally nothing, its just autism. Unless you're going to convert to .460 Rowland it literally doesn't matter
>>34077646
Fair enough, I wont derail the thread any further with sig pics but I will say I am in no way a fan of looped hammers. Spur or bust baby!
>>34077715
Muh loopped hammers bruh.
They are the greatest.
>>34074285
>Operator II
Operator I is the superior Operator.
Anyone have any experience with those Philippine made 1911's from ATI? They seem legit from reviews, and who could pass up a $400 1911.

Yes.
I own the 1911 GI enhanced.
It only likes ball ammo. I'm sure I could get them to fix it but it's just a target/knockaround 1911 for me, so I don't really care.
If you're looking to carry it, I'd go for RIA instead.
>>34077486
Who fucking cares? I bought my Springfield years before this faggotry went down. Am I supposed to feel retroactive guilt or something? Melt my pistol down into contemporary art or something? The money was spent long ago. You're virtue signaling like a shareblue faggot and shitting up /k/

No.

No.

What the hell is shareblue?
>>34077664
What happens if you put 460 rowland through an sr1911?
>>34078520
Cracked slide.
Are pt191, ati and ria shit good? Looking for reliability most of all.
>>34078596
RIA is probably your best bet.
>>34078604
Really liked the pt1911. Never touched the others but the pt1911 didnt feel any different than a high dollar springfield. The trigger was very nice.
>>34078664
Go for it.
I've not heard anything, good or bad, about taurus 1911s.
>>34078673
Nutnfancy and his gunsmith like them
>>34078690
Nutnfancy's a meme.
Either way, go for it.
>>34076102
I'm the guy you replied too, and no, I haven't.
>>34078558
Shit man. Would a dedicated upper for 460 rowland work?
>>34078859
It's not the slide.
It's the frame.
460 Roland is a heavy beating round.
