My next will be the full size, hopefully a govt issue colt like my grandpa carried in service. The stubby is my concealed carry .45
Jesus H, a concealed carry .45. Would not want to get cross ways with you. My home defense gun is a 12 gauge coach gun, but there is something about .45s and firing off a few hollow points the size of toilet bowls that is appealing.
My Kimber Pro Carry 2. Love this little guy
Let's see it...I almost bought a nightmare last week. The sigs feel nice.
I completely disagree with the sentiment here. While I can't explain your negative 1911 experience, the issues won't be fixed by going to a S&W .40. Both of my .40's are MUCH harder to handle than my Colt 1911 Gov't. Even the all steel Beretta 8040 has a lot more muzzle flip than the 1911. Though I do enjoy shooting the Springfield XDm 40, I find that I am much more controlled and accurate with the 1911, and because it has some mass to counteract the recoil, I can level the 1911 faster for follow-up shots. The .40 was supposed to be a compromise between .45 knockdown power and 9mm handling, but I find it a pretty wicked cartridge to handle.After long-ago experience with a gold cup 1911 that kicked like a mule, and did not dependably feed semi wadcutters (perhaps due to it's tighter target oriented tolerances?) I don't see why folks wouldn't take advantage of newer plastic 40cal.
I'd like to snag a Rock Island and customize the crap out of it. Perfect price for a project gun.
