Springfield makes a great base for a custom 1911, but you have a long way to go.  This is my old IPSC blaster from the mid-1990's   Ed Brown Beavertail grip safety BoMar sights milled By Ken Hallock S&A magwell Hand checkered front strap by me hand fitted match barrel etc. |

You'd think if you were only gonna carry 7 rounds it'd be in a teeny tiny gun, or at least a gun that is setup well for reloading

The latest modernization of the 1911. LW 9mm with optic and threaded barrel for can or comp. Probably should have had a rail.

You mock what you don’t possess the intelligence to understand. You will continue to languish while mired in mediocrity. Poke fun at the 1911 and those who are proficient with one all you want. As a great teacher once said, “Nobody cares”.

Probably should have had a rail. https://i.imgur.com/Yz7gW4c.jpg You can add a pic rail to that but it’s kind of clunky. I had a Dawson rail installed on my EB and it’s a clean, elegant solution. Downside: I don’t think they make them anymore. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AbleArcher: I'd have to defer to @45-Seventy on that Look up Uspsa and 3 gun open division winners. Mostly 2011s, some single actions like CZ, but almost no polymer striker fired guns in the winners circle. Yeah a polymer pocket gun is easier to carry and arguably “good enough” but full size single actions are easier to shoot better and yield overall better performance. |

As a probably one of the biggest 1911 fans on the planet I’m disappointed in the OPs choice to represent that fantastic platform.
How about a gun I was fortunate enough to have Stan Chen work on.

I haven't gotten my hands on a 2011, bit I will rectify that. |

I like the slide and frame...I would get some better sights, loose the compensator, install a beavertail, possibly an ambi safety, then I would be fine with it. But that compensator has gotta go.

The "perfected" 1911 was made almost 100 years ago, and is a mil-spec 1911A1 made by Colt, Remington Rand, Ithaca, US&S or Singer (and possibly includes the Argentinean Sistema 1927 guns).
Anything beyond that is just dicking around with an already perfected gun ... with the possible exception of installing improved sights. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cooper1: Not sure you appreciate what a 230gr. pill is capable of. I forgot that it was basically a rifle caliber 1911s are cool, it's okay to have cool guns. They're like classic cars. 7+1 in a pistol, unless it's a really tiny one is just dumb, when you can easily carry 15-20 rounds in similar size guns the argument that they are better for self defense, or duty or whatever is stupid |

That pistol was meant to be kept stock.
Someone gave it AIDS. I love the 1911. But it should only come in two forms: basic, and tastefully dressed up. That one is neither. |
