I first experienced a Colt !911 A1 USGI issue model while competing in a Tactical Match. Shot it. hated it, never gave them another thought. (mind you I hated it because I didn't shoot it well) Fast forward a few years and my father tells me he bought a Kimber Custom 1911. I shrugged it off till I shot it. I fell in love. The Kimber Custom Elite is a pleasure to shoot. One of my favorites actually, although it still doesn't take my love like the HK USP .45 Tactical and I haven't gotten up the guts to carry it condition 1 which if you are going to carry that's the only way. I am a convert though and have been eyeing up the Sig 1911 or the Springfield EMP. Thanks for the link Lawrence and Ill be sticking around here for a while.Panzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463450590763604868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-24108666901232802902011-01-01T19:35:39.999-08:002011-01-01T19:35:39.999-08:00I was the one who submitted the Fark link.

As I noted in my blog piece, I have a Kimber .45, and I'm quite happy with it:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=4315" rel="nofollow">http://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=4315</a>Lawrence Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493681072688769205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-65172371076566063162011-01-01T17:56:58.311-08:002011-01-01T17:56:58.311-08:00Been strongly considering a Taurus 1911, this only...Been strongly considering a Taurus 1911, this only further pushes me that way.muymanwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442608496453570939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-83629510379585286052011-01-01T10:35:17.100-08:002011-01-01T10:35:17.100-08:00That's the thing.

Yeah, it'd be nice to get a "pure" STI gun but hey.. for a first 1911? I'll take it. It'll do the job and be just fine. Plus if there's any problem, it's just a short drive up I-35. :-)<br /><br />I see no downsides to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-22975112648063952612011-01-01T09:17:57.037-08:002011-01-01T09:17:57.037-08:00I have to second hsoiblog's comment.

As soon as I scrape the cash together, the STI Spartan is coming my way, too.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-78401954610203224282011-01-01T08:11:30.011-08:002011-01-01T08:11:30.011-08:00A most excellent choice.

Either a well built tight gun or a loose rattle trap that was built to JMB's original milspec. Either will be reliable and fun.TXGunGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405501054321031442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-67198215409935581002011-01-01T07:56:36.648-08:002011-01-01T07:56:36.648-08:00I've been saying that STI needs to have a &quo...I've been saying that STI needs to have a "buy a 2011 in 2011" promotion. :-)<br /><br />Believe it or not tho, I don't own a single 1911. I need to remedy that, and I hope to do so in 2011. Since it'll be my first 1911, I figure I should start on the lower end, merely because of price and learning. So, while I've considered options like a Rock Island Armory, a Springfield, and so on... I think I've settled upon getting an STI Spartan. I think that will suffice quite well for a first 1911.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
