Quote HistoryQuoted: Is 'sacreligious', but a series 70 full size 1911 with an external extractor and a Wilson / Nowlin style feed ramp is what I would pick. Don't think that exists in a factory gun though. A Sig 1911 will get you that in series 80. Not sacrilegious at all. The 5” Colt S70 Government 1911A1 (and in .45acp, not 9-minimeter) was thoroughly endorsed by the late, great Fred Rexer, a ‘Nam Vet and published expert on the proper use of the 1911 for street survival. None better, ….. certainly not the latest rash of budget knock-offs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000S6TJ30?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Quoted: Scenario, you can have any 9mm, 1911 on the planet, it must be a standard order item that anyone can buy. Your life depends on it being able to shoot 1,000 rounds with 100% function. Your choice of magazines. You can clean and oil it out of the box and after every 100 rounds. No mods, no 'tuning', no alterations of any sort. Which one do you pick? Let's say under $5,000, the less expensive, the better. I was talking with the guy next to me on the plane. He wants to shoot more and to be proficient. Afterwards I was thinking to myself of what firearm I would recommend for him to get. Alchemy. Then decide capacity needs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Alchemy If I had to pick what I own, I've a Springer RO elite 9mm that has never even stuttered. Mim parts and all, the damn thing just runs. Currently vetting a 2015 Guardian 9mm, it's had some stoppages....trying to work out the bugs, but seems a solid platform. |

Are you limiting it to a single stack 9mm 1911?
Otherwise, Staccato. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: +1 on this according to testimony and everything I've read. If I had to pick what I own, I've a Springer RO elite 9mm that has never even stuttered. Mim parts and all, the damn thing just runs. Currently vetting a 2015 Guardian 9mm, it's had some stoppages....trying to work out the bugs, but seems a solid platform. The only stoppages my ACW has had were with LE trade in ammo with bullet setback that I didn't catch when loading mags. It's a .45 though. DWs can have tight extractors. |
