I have some questions about my all around favorite pistol, the 1911.
-Will the newer 8 round magazines work in all the pistols? (My Charles Daly clone came with 8 round mags)
-I've noticed that many of the super nice, super expensive ones lack ambidextrious safties, even though my much lower quality CD has one standard. Is putting an ambi saftey flipper on easy? (I have the same gripe about Browning Hi Powers)
-What make and model of a 1911 would be a good balance between quality and price? I don't need a competition grade pistol, but my CD, for instance, sometimes have problems with the cheapo ammo I use for plinking (reloads, soft lead tips with no jacketing, buy a box of 50 for five bucks). Just to add some perspective, I can't afford a Colt Gold Cup or a Les Baer, period.
