dakota1911

Yes I know this is an old thread. I think with 1911s it is sort of historical. I notice my Colt Python has a left hand twist (LHT) and so do all the Colt 1911s I have. My Ruger and S&W revolvers have right hand twists (RHT) and I am thinking the companies used that when they started making 1911s which was about 2003 for S&W and 2010 for Ruger.
I have noticed most of the 1911s I have do have LHT such as Colt, Kimber, SA, DW, Taurus, Detonics, Safariland, AMT and some others. Now Llama used to use a RHT and I have a couple RIAs that have RHT.
