I said Kimber, but someday I'd like to own a Rock River. I have an 87 year old shooting buddy that owns one, and it is nice!!

Favorite 1911?
What 1911 maker do you like the best? I personally like Springfields, and have one of their Mil Specs.

I've been thinking a springfield mil spec would be nice some day too, maybe throw in a .460 rowland conversion, and make big booms!! :lol: Now all I have to do is win the lottery to pay for all the guns i'd like to have!!
I wanted a Springfield GI-45 but am tired of waiting for it, so I am now trying to get a mil spec but my local ffl holder can't find a distributor that has one. I really want a Springfield this time( I've owned two Kimbers) but this lack of availability is pissing me off. :x
You forgot most of the wide body manufacturers. I have a 12+1 Springfield Ultra Compact and a Para Ordinance P-18 which I much prefer over the single stacks. Off the top of my head, I've had a 70 series Gold Cup, Star PD, EAA Hardballer, and a few others and I still like the feel of the double stacks.
My favorite is my Springfield GI 1911, but it is my only .45.
It has only had
50 rounds ran through, but it fired without a problem!

I think the Ed Brown custom guns are the best I have ever seen and I used alot of his custom parts to build up one of my .45s and they were some of the best parts I used on the gun. For factory guns I think Springfield or Paraordnance take the cake over Kimber because I think the quality is the same but Kimber is bit more pricey.
Double stack all the way.

Can you consider the Para Ord a true 1911?
Also what about the SIG GSR?

I really want a sig GSR but too rich for me now.
Ive shot alot of 1911's and own a smith&wesson but the sweetest 1911 I ever shot was a wilson,$2200.00,unless I recieve a large reward somewhere I will never get to own one but I shot the smallest group at 25 yards I have ever shot with a 1911 style pistol.I want to own a mil spec springfield by next year,thats about as close I can get to a wilson.Drop-Shot

Anyone shoot a Kimber 10mm (Don Johnson gun)?
I've always been a big Miami Vice fan, but never big enough to buy one.

Well Para has modified their idea of a 1911 to the point of not working like a 1911.What do you mean?
Pivoting trigger.
Hammer down carry on a live round.
Firing pin disconnect.
External extractor.
Double stack magazine.
Although the pistol looks like a 1911, do you consider it a real 1911?
I tend not to think of the Paras as real 1911's but let me also say I do not own a 1911 (yet
) and am not really in need of one either. Just keeping to conversation going..

Where is Les Baer in the poll?
That's the thing there are so many good 1911 smiths out there now it would be a 2 page poll. I went with the Wilson having owned 2 they have always been top drawer. Les Baer, Ed Brown both are equal with Bill Wilson but Wilson is within driving distance of where I'm and I have more exposure to his work.
I plan on getting a Springfield Armory MilSpec sometime in the next six months.
I have also heard that the quality on the Auto Ordinance 1911's has gone up considerably and may purchase one of those instead if the price is right.

I said Kimber , but would love to have a Les Baer
I thought Kimber started making 1911s after Miami mice was already off the air?GunRunner said:Anyone shoot a Kimber 10mm (Don Johnson gun)?
