Why the 1911?

[Sundance]

The single action trigger allows for a shorter pull and more consistant feel. as you pull back you find the hard spot and then boom, that is something you can train to alot quicker than a long double action pull.

Being a Kel- Tec owner I know what you mean by long trigger pull. I like its size for a 9mm very compact but it seams like forever when it comes to pulling the trigger. Definitely a close range type of weapon.

when it comes to flat out sweet triggers you will be spoiled on a 1911. I fit mine so that there is no up and down or side to side movement, about a 1/64th to 1/8th of creep, hard spot and then breaks like a glass rod.

Once you go single action, you don't wanna go back, the CZ-75 SA is nice as well. I was a the police range the other day, shooting some glocks and I tell you what after shooting 1911 triggers for the last 7 years, it was tuff to get back in the double action groove again. look like a real f-in amauter.

I am sure Kurt will be along shortly to confirm the amauter quote...

Very nice...does touching myself inappropriately while looking at pictures of your pistol mean we've taken our relationship to the next level?

My dad uses a KelTec and I feel like I could take a nap before getting the trigger all the way back. I picked up a Sig 290 awhile back and shot it 3 times before trading it off because the trigger was too long. I'm all about the short trigger pull.

Yes. But I've done worse

Better make that a three some...

Also my 1911 weighs just about 40oz which is the perfect weight for a Colt 45.

I just weighed my 1911 on my kitchen scale and it's exactly 40oz with an empty magazine in.

I am so irrationally happy about this.

What does it weigh with a 10 round mag of 230gr rounds inserted?

I just ordered all my parts got my first 1911. A good friend with a lot of experience is going to help me hand fit and put it all together.

Couldn't be happier, unless I had all the parts here already and could start working on it this weekend.

I have a few decent guns, but my 1911 is the only one that puts a smile on my face. I'm smiling now just thinking about it...now I gotta go get it out of the safe.

edit: And now I gotta take to the range tomorrow, it's been a while.

I've actually had nightmares where I couldn't pull the trigger far enough to make it go bang.

I don't know. I keep meaning to buy some 10-round magsto run my 1911 at Pro Am but I need more money.
