I slammed my fingers in my car door today, which for some reason got me to thinking about muscle reflex and the possiblity that I might not think to release the safety on a 1911. Which also got me to thinking that it would be a pity to lay down $800 dollars on a nice, new Kimber and then realise that cocked and locked is not for me.
So I thought I might get a practice 1911, for want of a better word. Being that I appreciate antiques and things historical and vintage, I was thinking about getting one of these Argentinian Colt 1911s for a reasonable $300. I've read over posts concerning these weapons and they seem to be fairly well regarded.
What do you think of my plan? Is is just silliness? Would I be better off getting another 1911 style pistol or should I just go ahead and get the Kimber and run the risk of having a pricey range gun?
Thanks
