[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 15925484, member: 70485"] The thread linked earlier in this thread was mine as I was seeking advice. 1911's are only as reliable as how you take care of them. My sig P938 is 1911 based and I would 100% trust it with my life. It is my carry weapon and out of the dozen times I've taken it the range and even when it was filthy after a couple hundred rounds through it, it still fired. The ONLY issue I had was a mag issue from sig. I bought a new one, and no more feed/extraction issues. That being said, after handling several 1911's during my time in Texas recently, I've eliminated Dan Wesson all together. Got some great feedback from a fellow that was a competitive shooter and also has over a $200,000+ gun collection. He let me play around with a Colt 1911-A1, Springfield Operator (slightly older model) and a few others. The way I see it, buy a springfield or colt for <$700, then, send it out to Wilson Combat for another few hundred bucks and have the trigger improved and a few other things and it will make a phenomenal gun. I think I'm leaning toward a Springfield loaded, Remington R1 Enchaned and a Colt. Don't really want a Sig for said reasons above, plus, all of their 1911's are $1,000+ unless you manage to find an amazing deal or buy used, which I prefer not to do. Buying a super expensive gun is not going to make you shoot better. The only thing I can see it doing is somehow boosting your confidence/ego a bit, forcing you to get better. But, alas, that is in the hands of the user. Guns don't magically make people A-class competition shooters. Practice and time do. [/QUOTE]
