1911 Brands

[Bandit]

A tangent off the "Favorite Semi-Auto Brand" poll spawns a poll for those wanting to show their preference for a specific 1911 manufacturer/builder.

Springfield

Yes, I know Wilson Combat is the best quality 1911 out there in many people's opinions, but not all of us can throw out $2,000-$4,000 for ONE pistol. Thus, for the money, I prefer Springfield.

 

[GGGLOCK]

My vote goes to...

...the only kind of 1911 I own...a Wilson!

 

[Zorro]

No Sistema Colt option?

 

[Gewehr98]

Caspian

 

[Tamara]

Suppose I think a Les Baer slide on a Caspian frame is the deal? Which box do I check?

 

[AndABeer]

Gunsite GSP

Polls only allow 10 options.. I guess I could of made it more clear that this poll was for currently available, over the counter 1911's in production at this time. I could of made one of the choices a full house custom.. But eliminating any one of the ones that are listed would inevitably piss someone off also..

Sistema Modelo 1927 1911. I ain't payin' no $1500 on no .45, dadgumit. (ok, ok, I would love a Wilson, but $300 for a top quality 45? Can't beat it).

 

[Kermit]

Production, I like Colt. Custom...hmmm...Caspian

Wilson Combat and Les Baer have both lost their big Government contracts because they were putting out garbage at twice the price everyone else charges. You're better off with a Kimber or Springfield Armory pistol.

I had to vote "other".

My favorites are GI surplus. But it seems those are almost gone.

First runner up would be Series 70 or prior Colt commercial.

 

[Brian Busch]

Man, I wish I could win the lottery!

SVI

 

[KPS]

Savin' for a Wilson, playin' with a Sistema Colt.

Well, I voted Springfield because I own several. But I also a couple of Colts and a Kimber. Being a (currently unemployed) pale-blue collar worker, my purchases through the years have always been in the mid-range level. Not sure if I'll ever get around to buying a unit from a "big name" outfit. Still need to fence a couple of acres, attend many more self defence training classes, shoot the guns I already have, etc, etc. Stay safe.

At least spell it right

I realize that you all might not like the Dalys, but at LEAST spell it right!

My two favorite 45's are a Wilson Combat CQB and a Clark customized Kimber Stainless Classic

Long live the 1911
