I would LOVE to have a gun built by either of these guys!

1911's suck, just get a glock
ordered the nighthawk. i should have it middle of next week. it took 3 hours of calling dealers from their website. i called all the dealers within 200 miles of my zip code, then moved on to the next state. found one in findlay ohio.
some dealers had the 45, a few had the one with the rail. i didn't want the rail on it.
does anyone make a 9mm that is just as accurate as a 45? i only ask is i have 2 9mm cans and "some" ammo already.
seems like on every forum the springfields are always at the top of the list, followed by sig. very little mention of the SW.
yesterday i almost walked out with one of the sigs. i had to slow my roll and take a step back to avoid another impulse buy (not that i regret my remmy).
In the long run the 1911s are a lot less expensive than boobs.you know, i was sitting around having a few beers last night, and the thought occurred to me...
1911s are like boobs. everyone has seen them, everyone has played with them, but you just can't help yourself to want to see and play with all of them! they are all basically the same. they all have the same function and parts. some are updated and some are not. but you still want to play with them all!
this is going to get expensive real quick!

I've owned 3 1911s and liked em but I don't understand 1 thing... Apparently you're supposed to take out a loan to get 1 worth a shit. If its not a custom that costs a fortune then it couldn't possibly be reliable enough to shoot cans with let alone keep on the night stand. Let the prudes have em. I've grown quite fond of my revolvers anyway.
The 1911 was one of the first handguns I owned. I've owned and shot many other types but always went back to the 1911. Always found it to be the best in ergonomics and accuracy but a little more high maintenance compared to a Glock.
Some groups I shot with a Les Baer standing off-hand at 15 yards. This is with factory Federal Champion 230gr ammo.

You asked is there are 9mm versions. Yes I have an SW pro 9mm and it is dead nuts accurate. Parts come from the custom shop but it is assembled on the production line.
You asked why is the trp a favorite. Not sure about every trp, there are a few models, but mine which is newer has serial numbers on all parts. It is hand built in limited runs in the custom shop. It is so tight I am surprised the gun runs. Accurate, ohh ya and It runs like a freaking raped ape man. Soooooo accurate.
Here is the rarest of them, full rail, operator tactical model, oversize ambi safety, with bull barrel and match trigger and fiber optic sights with adjustable target rear and sandpaper grips and deep serrations. First 10 times I shot it it made my hands raw, the traction is crazy.
This one is going in the grave with me. Pure man shit right there. I don't care who you are, or what you opinions are, this is in fact the most bad ass 1911. No ladies, light weight, short barrel, convenient, polished carry piece here. This is intended for serious use and not being a safe queen. I freaking hate fixed sights, different ammo, just turn a screw and aim dead nuts.
My local high end range has Weston's yada yada yada, they are all ok, sights suck and you have to offset with different ammo and ranges. Imagine a rifle with no wind age and elevation. Even the regular TRP is not the same as this bad bitch. I shot them all, I can buy any one I want, once I got this the Wesson's and Browns that were on my list simply fell off. Why bother.
The pics suck, google "trp full rail operator" for better pics, my phone blows.
