    Would you rather have a 1911 in 9mm or .45 Pros and Con?

    Well is pizza un-American? Are any of the 34 US Olympic athletes that were not natural born citizens of the U.S. in-American? I think that yes, the Lords caliber is historically the traditional cartridge for the 1911, but I own 9mm, 10mm, and 45acp versions of Moses Brownings legacy.

    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    Well that is a trick question I guess. Depends on what you want and where you set the bar for quality. I started my 1911 journey with a STI Trojan in 9mm. It was offered to me to get me away from polymer pistols (Glock). I added Staccato 2011’s, Remington R1, and a couple of Tisas’s. I don’t own...

    Is Tisas a good 1911 option?

    Just bought two Tisas. I couldn’t pass them up due to the great Christmas sale prices. The first is the Match. Great pistol, a very good example of a 45acp govt model with all the extras (mag well, adj sights, forged slide and frame, CHF barrel, no mom, etc). Out of the box a great shooter no...

    Best 1911 grips?

    I also have them on my 22/45’s. The Alien VZ grips on my STI are my favorite.

    VZ grips on my STI Trojan are awesome.

    WTB Staccato 4.15

    No help here either. Staccato 2011 or STI would be excellent choices. Hate that you are limited to CA regulations.

    Newbie to the Forum

    Good Evening, Long time shooter short time 1911/2011 owner. Served in the US Army as a medic. They phased out the 1911 as I was in my first unit to the M9. Didn’t think much of the M9 or the worn out 1911’s. After the service I became pretty much a Glock fan boy. Owning practically every Glock...

    Help me justify TRP

    I am wanting one too. I have 4 staccatos (three double stacks, and one single) 9mm. I am wanting a good representative of a .45acp. The research I have done shows the TRP is that gun without the price tag. On YouTube Rob Lathem said one year his competition gun was not back in time for the...
