There are a very few pistols that a person who has never shot a pistol can pick up and do well with. The 1911 is one of them.

Quote HistoryThe Emperor's choice! What gets me about the OP's posted abortion is that they did whatever the 1911 version of Tapco-fucking is to that pistol, and then didn't stick a dot on it. Shame, shame, shame. (Albeit, I am looking into sticking a dot on mine, though it'll be a biggun', and the amount of machining required is more than a little annoying.) |

The sheer amount of bullshit and maintenance to keep them running as a duty pistol... I do wonder if anyone would bother to continue using them in precision pistol if the .45 requirement was removed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 45-Seventy: For Open and Limited (now Limited Optics as well), 2011’s dominate. I think the DWX has what it takes to make inroads as well but the aftermarket is t there to make it more than a marginal player at the moment. The only real competition is the CZ TSO/2 or CzechMate and honestly, they kinda blow. Production/CO is dominated by CZ and Tanfo. Q5 Match? Or is it hot garbage in comparison? The Shadow 2 was very, very nifty. |
