Picked up a 1911

[RUNMEDOWN]

Mosh, have you looked into the Glock G43 in 9mm?

I just picked one up for the wife, she is taking a CCP class in a few weeks. I want her to have something reliable

I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet, but will next time I go to the range. I want either a 43 or a full size 17 in 9mm. I have a 1000 rounds of 9mm and don't even own one.

I thought I made a reply addressing the glock question BKM but apparently I di not. I was not ignoring you, sorry.

But yea I have looked at them and I know they have a rep for reliability and what not, but they are not for me..I am not a fan of the sights, and I do not care for the safety designs. In my line of work, I need the extra positive safety since my piece gets bumped around a lot. Additionally, Of all things left to keep my money in this country on, a firearm is at the top of my list is another reason.

That is not a bash on them, they are obviously a good firearm.

Although I have not yet bought an old rifle with a vintage scope, I would love to. If the scope is still working, that's icing on the cake to me. Lots of guy still like and use vintage scopes.

Nice old rifle Bryan.

Here are pics of my Winchester 70 from the dealer when I bought it. It now has a new Leupold VX1 and a leather sling.

That is a beauty. I've always had a soft spot for any Winchester firearm. I have a couple Winchester pumps and a model 94 30-30 that I love.

Mosh,
I totally understand, Glocks seem to be love/hate, with almost no in between. I've owned my G27 for 12 years and have not had one ftf or malfunction, not one. I carry it every work shift on my ankle. I carried a G22 on my hip for 7 years and never had a single malfunction or FTF, except for the time an incompetent department armor reassembled it incorrectly.

That being said, a choice in firearms comes down to personal preference and what the buyer ultimately feels comfortable with. I think you made a good decision.

If only some of the people on the firearms forums I frequent carried this same view! LOL!

This is the same reason I can't frequent gun forums and for the most part cannot stand to be around a lot of douchey gun guys.

I absolutely hated my lc9... But it's gone now... My daily carry piece is a Sig Sauer Nightmare 1911, and a galco fletch holster... Makes that big pig ride tight to my back. Love the Nightmare!

Just got a Ruger P85MKII and a Remington 700 in 30-06 from 1969 with the original scope yet...Got them in a trade deal....Man do I love that P85!

Does my Colt officers 1911 make my ass look big????

Yes ,, but it's not the weapon .

I am a big fan of Ruger but 7+1 doesn't appeal to me, which is one of the reasons I was looking at the G2 and the SCCY which are 10+1 capacity. Obviously the price of each is attractive and that is why I wanted opinions. Isn't the G2 a new design? Regardless, that review will stick in my head and likely rule it out.

To the contrary, based on several reviews of the redesigned PT111 G2 , I'll be picking mine up next weekend. (Refer to the 'trade' in my tri moto thread. This was bought by my brother but never fired.) It actually is a 12+1, which you guys that know more about gun specs than I do probably already knew. Another of my brothers has had one for a while,
(Read: dont mess with my brothers ) and he has reported no issues whatsoever. Pretty excited to add to the cache, so figured I'd share.
