The TRUTH about the 1911!!

[tacticalmaster45]

I'm a huge fan of Kimbers - carry a "Pro Carry 45" and frequently shoot a "Eclipse II"

My wife fell in love with a LadyHawk at the NRA show in Louisville. Doesn't add to the discussion but shows you what I have to deal with at home.

I fell in love with these Nighthawk's, but once again, too rich for my blood.

Not a fan of the High Power cut.
Beautiful pieces though.

Truth be known it probably goes back to my childhood. My dad had a S&W .44 magnum, and a Browning High Power. I had one of their Tactical .40 models years ago, one of those I shouldn't have let get away.

Had both of those myself.
I miss the S&W.
Never really got attached to the HP.

I am a big big HiPower fan. I have owned several over the years. One day I will buy another one but hard to justify what would become a safe queen.

I just have my Dad's BHP.

rhino is ashamed to say that he has never owned a BHP.

I think the ban hammer needs to swing for INGO justice on this matter.

I have always wanted a High power.
As far as the MIM stuff goes... Shoot it til it breaks and then replace it with something better.
Most folks won't shoot a 1911 enough to break it.

Ok. This thread has been very interesting and was was learning a lot. I have always wanted a 1911...but my true love is the High Power, and when I saw the picture with the 3 Nighthawks, my jaw dropped. Someone school me on the Nighthawk.....Please!!!!

Steve Fisher with Sentinel concepts is the guy to ask about that. He's the nighthawk master and he acutely trains and uses his in classes he teaches.

I just watched a youtube video on them. They would look really awesome in my safe. I jumped over to gunbroker, and got a big 0. I will keep looking, thanks.

Nighthawks are nice, but expensive. I honesty can't even see myself buying a Dan Wesson. I'm going to just save up, and get a 1911. I'm leaning towards a Springfield TRP. And just shoot it until it breaks. And then change out the MIM parts.

At least that's the plan right now.

I was going to suggest stainless in case you want to shoot when it's snowy outside, but . . .

I have read that Dan Wesson stainless has a galling problem...
