    Hi-end 1911s NOW

    @joepistol, IMHO that's like saying I won't buy a Harley or a Corvette because I'll never drive 100+ mph. The Cabots and Nighthawks are truly amazing pieces of hardware. Put one in your hands and your eyes will light up, they ain't nothing like anything you've ever held or shot. They are a...

    Hi-end 1911s NOW

    The Drako Garro II has been discontinued. I tried to order one a few months ago, but the day I tried to order one was the exact day it was discontinued. IMHO it was a damn fine lookin piece of hardware. Oh well, bummer...

    Hi-end 1911s NOW

    I have no issues w/ ordering 1911s from these vendors. Maybe the staffing issue is what's making us wait so long for a gun. Cabot is now 18 months build time, Nighthawk is 12-18 months. I've spent a lot of time w/ these vendors and I don't believe they're willing to risk their reputation...

    The Trolls are here again.

    The man (?) is a moron, aside from his grammatical challenges. Can't we simply remove his membership rights?

    Last warning!

    Yesterday I sent out some political jokes, nothing harming, nothing threatening, no curse words, just funny stuff about Demoncrats and Mr Alzheimer. The first one went out, but all the slides were empty! I looked in my SENT folder and the copy there also had blank slides. Ok, so I still...

    Hello From Pennsylvania

    I live in Abington, about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. I own only 1 Glock, and most of my handguns are 1911s. At this point in time, I own 8 Nighthawks w/ my 9th model ordered 2 weeks ago and due around Xmas. I own a Thunder Ranch and I think you'll LOVE that gun. Highly accurate...

    Which maker?

    I vote Nighthawk for Customer Service, selection and variety of models, quality of product, and accuracy. I own 7 Nighthawks (+ 2 on order) and I have never had to send one back for anything in the 10 years I have owned Nighthawks.

    Renegades?

    I am a current member, and I hate to admit it but I have been "attacked" a few times on the forum. I have been using email and the internet for almost 40 years and it has been my experience that some people become very rude, arrogant, and insulting when they hide behind a keyboard. Most...

    What's your most enjoyable to shoot?

    Mike- That's the finish out of the factory. It used to be for only the TR, but now it seems like it's an option on everything they have. I saw it on an Agent 2 a few weeks ago, and it looked amazing. I give you a lot of credit, I don't think I could take a Scotchbrite pad to one of my guns...

    Dementia.....

    Bender- I am very sorry to hear about your friend. I have been a patient care volunteer for Hospice for 15 years, and a patient care volunteer for ALS for 8+ years. Sad to say, it is a terminal disease, typically 6-8 years after it is initially diagnosed. Dementia is different than FTD...

    DW Guardian ETF need help

    Sometimes simplicity is best. I own 16+ 1911s and have never had a gun as fussy w/ ammo as what your telling us here. My suggestion is to take it to a gunsmith, does your LGS have a gunsmith on hand? These guys are great to know, IMHO you should always know your local gunsmith. They can help...

    Choosing my first Nighthawk

    Glad to hear you like the Counselor, although not a surprise. I own 5 1/2 Nighthawks and they all are amazing guns, as you say, in a class by themselves (IMHO). I also own Ed Brown, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Guncrafter Ind, and hopefully soon, a Cabot. In my experience they don't loosen up as you...
