I'm just saying there is NO comparison with a 1911 and a polymer gun. Both have good and bad points. To each their own but mine will always favor a 1911. There is no polymer that can compare.

"Funny yesterday the SWAT snipers went through their rifles, thoroughly cleaned, checked torques on mounts, etc. One needed a tool at my desk and then some help with a Harris Bipod mount. While helping he asked the significance of the framed photos all of 1911's hanging around my desk. I told him other than the fact that they are the finest handgun ever built they probably are wearing grips that I made.
He looked somewhat perplexed after the finest handgun ever built comment. I asked him if he was a communist......finished my help and returned to my cubicle 1911 oasis. "
THAT quote is priceless. FnA. I read some stuff here that sums it up, or describes stuff perfectly. This is one of those.
I am the Living Man
I have both a Kimber Ultra Carry II and a SA fs light weight, along with a SIG C3, Detonics Combat Master, and an STI Escort. My favorite is the SIG, but I have no complaints about the Kimber or Springfield. BTW, I didn't pay anything close $2000 for any of them - less than half on average. As far as expensive ammo, I use pretty standard ball and HP rounds in my 1911's and my other 45's.
I've shot them, and I just don't see the hype. I'd take an HK polymer over a 1911 any day. And be more accurate with them.............................................. .there are a boatload of 1911's for sale in my area, they can't sell them fast enough, and for good $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
