1911s make wonderful shooting guns. Accurate, nicely balanced, shoots a killer bullet, and after market parts galore for customizing. I remember when I was a kid, a Colt Government model was selling new for $65. In those days, my family was poorer than a church mouse and I was too young to buy a gun anyway. Today, prices are much higher but then wages are higher too making it expensive but still affordable. I have two 1911s, a Colt Gold Cup and an accurized Colt Government model, both equipped with Bomar full length slide ribs with extended front sights. These are guns that will be handed down to my sons someday but now that I'm still alive and kicking, I'm going to keep shooting them.
