I attended my umpteenth gun show in the last 18 months or so yesterday and now I've discovered yet another type of pistol to lust for. Far from being a new design, it's actually quite an old idea. It's the 1911.
A 1911 won't be my next pistol, the CZ75BD gets that honor, but I WILL get one eventually. The one that put me over the edge was a Kimber Ultra Carry, but I doubt I'll get that model or even that brand. I think a full-size 1911 would be best for me, but I reserve the right to change my mind. After handling the Kimber UC, I started to handle other 1911s and I found myself really liking feel of them. Some makes felt better than others, but, in general, they were all quite satisfactory.
I'm leaning towards the high-end 1911s, with Wilson and Baer being strong contenders. But I won't know for sure until I'm ready to buy. That won't be until next year (at least) because I've also got a Robinson M96 Expeditionary rifle on the agenda for later this year, depending on my finances (I haven't done my taxes yet), and some professional training.
When will it ever end?
