Hello and welcome!
I'm not much of a 1911 fan, don't get me wrong, they can be awesome guns and I enjoy shooting them from time to time.
You'll enjoy some of the "water cooler" threads, but you posted this in the right spot.
At Berwyn we have a contest a few times a year; 9mm vs .45. Most if not all of the .45 guys shoot 1911's. Last year was the first time I participated and the first time the 9mm guys beat the .45 guys! It's a simple marksmanship format, I'd like to think I helped.
Welcome to MDS . See about becoming an IP , so you can tell us all about your grips.
Greg and Dave will be by shortly with the usual links.
Previously had a 1920's production Commercial A1 . Once of the pre-Oct 1 newcomers is a 1970's Combat Commander w/ Coltgaurd finish.
And a .22lr "Colt" 1911 . Up to you if that "counts" , but I like it on its own merits either way.
The last purchase before 10/1 was a Ruger SR1911. Yeah, I'm a fan.
I really like my Remington 1911 r1.
