Can't wait to take to the range

Any addicts have a Standard Manufacturing 1911? Saw a Royal Blue full sixe at the LGS and took the plunge. If it shoots well and the finish lasts, I think it is a great value. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences? Regards, Kris

I barely have the DW CCO broken in and I’m going back to my fav LGS (a CZ.dealer) to look at more 1911s tomorrow morning. He has all manner of 1911s and I be looking at a variety of brands, makes and models. I’ve got about a $2k budget and who knows what I’ll bring home! It was the DW CCO a...

Hi All, New member here. Looking at possibly ordering a Standard Manufacturing 1911. I really love the high polish blue on them but have never seen one in person. Anyone here have any experience with them? Any other recommendations for me to look at for an old school blueing like that...

I'm looking to purchase my 1st 1911. I have 95% settled on an Alchemy, as I just love the classic look of the gun, and sounds like its a great company. It also fits the price point, as I'm wanting to stay under $3,000. I'm also looking to carry this gun, which will also be new for me. I'm a big...

Good morning! This is my first post, and hopefully far from my last. I'm finally at a point in my life where I can afford to start picking up a new gun or two here and there, and have decided that the 1911 is most definitely the way to go! My edc I've had for almost 10 years is a Kimber Ultra...

I've got one more gun purchase in me for the foreseeable future, then my discretionary funds will be depleted and I have to take a few months to work on learning and using them. I've decided to add another DW to go with my A2 Commander in .45ACP. I looked at the Specialist, and like it, but am...

I am looking at two 1911's, a very nice Springer RO 5" which is used but in like new condition, and an equally nice used Ruger SR1911 Talo edition 5" with night sites. Both pistols have very low round counts (under 200 rounds). The pistols are about the same price ($720), but the Springer is at...
