Suppressors which 1911?

[Smokin]

If you were going to get ONE nice 1911 with a price point of $2500 or less, what would you get? Nighthawk? Wilson? STI? Im leaning towards a double stack STI, but not sure which one is a good "all around" weapon. Pistol would never be used for concealed carry. Mostly range gun, and tactical comp gun....maybe car gun.

Kimber Gold Combat RL. Accurate with a light rail. Great all rounder for that price range.

Dude, you live in Texas. Get an STI. I have a Springfield Loaded and love it but, the STI double stacks are sweet.

oh man, get ready for a few pages of everybodies favorites. Nighthawks are great, but only if you get a naked slide because their names and rollmarks are pretty rediculous. You need it ASAP or can you wait? Call George at Michigan gunslingers and order a Wilson CQB however you want it. For a couple hundred less than your mentioned 2500. You really can't go wrong with one.

Whatever you get make sure to get the Ed Brown Bobtail on it. If it were me I'd get the Nighthawk.

Go Glock.. You'll never have to clean it!

Another +1 for the Springfield TRP Operator.

That just depends on who you send it too and what work you have done.

Ed Brown

Double stack would be nice - might be a "better" or more consistent fit/grip for your hands....

SVs are awesome, but take nearly a year to get at nearly twice the budget.

I'd vote for something custom from a good local smith.

Re: which 1911?

Ive both owned and been a dealer for most every big name out there. I can recommend none higher than Wilson Combat for esthetics, functioning, quality control & testing before ship, and most of all- service after the sale. Just like match barrels all let a squeaker got out now and again but the service I have seen from WC (and the absence thereof from a lot of the others) keeps them always in stock in my shop and safe- August

If you can find a Rock River...+1

Re: which 1911?

Look into Fusion. They make great .45s, and most are below the $2500 price point. You would not be dissappointed.

I could be tempted by something like this.
