My Colt 1991 fits my hand better than any other semi-automatic pistol.
It is "what a pistol needs to be", in my opinion.

They do fit in your hand very nicley, actually I would prefer a 1911 over another automatic pistil. :biggrin:My Colt 1991 fits my hand better than any other semi-automatic pistol.

Yep, that and that we all have hads of different sizes and shapes. The Browning HP pistols hurt my hand after 30-40 rounds... go figure.I'm not a 1911 fan, although I have one that is on it's second barrel. When I first started competition shooting back in the 80's, the 1911 was the standard that all others were judged by. I shot literally 10's and 10's of thousands of rounds through that gun. Since then, double stack and hi cap have become the standard. I still have a 1911, but it hasn't been shot in years. Some people say it fits their hand like a glove, it just doesn't really feel right to me. I guess it's like the Ford/Chevy debate, it'll go on forever.
that .45 ya'll got is a nice one:thumb:. i like them, but i just like the lugers and berettas better.our 1911 colt is a very good gun and it shoots real well. its balanced and accurized and it has a special grip ingraved in the frame. luke did you like it any when you shot it?
There are many guns that carry "cocked and locked," only safer. Notably ones would be the Glocks and XDs. Both are ready to fire in an instant, the Glock having a more unique fire control system.I guess the thing I like about the 1911 is the "cocked & locked" thing. Makes it ready to fire in an instant. I have a .45 Llama (Colt 1911 knock off) that I carry frequently. The main reason I carry it is the large caliber & knockdown power.
I also have a Ruger P-89 in 9mm hi-capacity that I like - and carry often, too.
The downside to these bigger guns is concealability. I'd really like to have one of the compact .40's or .45's. When I am wearing clothing that makes it hard to conceal, I have an RG double barrel .38 derringer that will fit about anywhere.:thumb:

My 1991 is completely stock except for pachmyr grips. Maybe that's why it will eat ANYthing I feed it. I've even put empty cases in the middle of a mag.-full, and it would chamber them ..... but wouldn't go "bang", only show up my bad hold!.........

They are available in those calibers and lots more, 38 Super, 9x21, 10mm, 9x25, 45 Super just to name a few right off the top of my head. Drop a barrel in and start shooting.i think i would like one better if it was chambered in 9mm or .357 sig...
just me talking
