Have an option of picking up a new .45 in the next few months. HK is kind of expensive, but I have heard from many that it is a great pistol.
The only real thing I have against it is that it has a polymer frame.
For some reason I have had nothing but trouble with my G-21's polymer frame.
I like the feel of the 1911 and the fact that it's a great pistol for the price, though I have heard something from people at the local range that the HK's run rings around the "Loaded" 1911's, as far as accuracy goes.
Me? I'm just looking at getting 3" shot groups with match ammo at 25 yards.
So what are your learned opinions. Cost is really secondary to a firearm that I can trust with my life under any conditions (not to flame, but I just don't care for the Glocks).
One thing I should note is that my current CCW piece is a Taurus 617. I'm looking to go to a semi and I like the slim and comfortable design of the short barreled 1911.
If I were to get a Champion, my next purchase would probably be a TRP, and than a Ceiner conversion kit.
However, I would still like any input the board could give me.
Thanks,
Jon
