Where are the 1911's

[kedie]

Is the best designed gun in the history of firearms not worthy of a section?

I agree. The M1 Garand should have it's own section!

 

[Eprobertson1]

Really so they are supposed to rattle when shaken? Hm never had a handgun do that.

Don't know about your friend's colt and what you heard.
My Colt defender and Taurus PT1911 - neither one has a rattle, just a lot of good steel.

Well, I waited as long as I could.....

Then why when I shook my friends Colt, did it rattle like a babies toy?

99% of the time when a person shakes something hard enough, their head moves...... most likely, in this case, that's where the rattle originated.

I don't care who you are. Now that's funny!!

I have a Les Baer Custom 1911 45ACP. Very tight and smooth like a virgin's...er..nevermind. It's also very accurate, more accurate than my Colt Gold Cup match.

 

[menzzer37]

another +1 for the 1911. I own several.

Regarding sub-dividing the forums:
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...split_long_guns_into_multiple_categories.html

The current arrangement forces 1911 fans, Glock fans, XD fans, Hi-Point fans, and fans of everything else to live side-by-side in peace and harmony, and we have no plans to change. There are (allegedly) other gun-specific forums on the web if you need to limit yourselves to interacting with others with similar tastes. This is the INDIANA GUN OWNERS forum, and that's the common thing that binds us together, not love for a certain type of gun.

My

I like this arrangement. I'm an equal-opportunity gun owner myself (LOL). While I think the Glock 30 is perhaps the second-greatest carry gun ever made, the 1911s will always hold a special - and elevated - place in my heart and my Kimber Pro Carry is my favorite firearm companion ever. Having said all that - I like the consolidated "handgun" forum to hear and appreaciate all views and experiences.

NOW that's Funny!!!

Can I just say that I love seeing everyone's perspectives here? I used to read the 1911Forum all the time (great site) but I really like the mix here.

I like the segregation based on function but would hate to see segregation based on brand.

It would be nice to talk to folks locally who have knowledge concerning certain firearms.

For example, people building AR15's, M1911s, or other guns, would be able to set up face to face meeting with folks that could help them. ie, loaning of tools or hands on building help.

This may sound like I'm babbling, but I didn't get much sleep last night.

Sounds like a "build party". We had an INGO AR build party in Indy last year; it was fun. We ought to do another...

Dont get butt hurt because a Colt rattled.

 

[HICKMAN]

A Glock? Isn't that a plastic toy or something like that?

Yup, of course there are 128 members of the INGO Glockers and a whopping EIGHT in the It's all about the 1911 group

I guess by those numbers, we should have a Glock section first

Quality over quantity!!!!

Well, lets see, who posted the devastating revelation that now and then a handgun will rattle when shaken vigorously ?.... I'm pretty sure that comment was a slam of sorts. Then it seems like he got miffed when his revelation was made fun of. It must have been the same guy that has now introduced us to the term "butt hurt". I can only guess that from similar prior encounters, he has become intimately familiar with that term. Try some Preparation "H"....... you decide where.

 

[Fenway]

On the topic of a 1911 sub forum. I appreciate the idea but we are not going to do it.

If we did a 1911 forum then we would have requests for

Glock
XD
Ruger
CZ
Beretta
High Point
S&W
HK

etc etc etc

Long gun guys would want their own forums

AR
AK

etc etc etc

Then we would need

Rock River
Stag
Daniel Defense
Olympic
Bushmaster
Colt
DPMS

etc etc etc

Then we have Glock Talk.

Not that it matters, but I like things just like they are. Fenway has created, and maintained an excellent playground for all of us, and exhibits a given degree of tolerance for some of us..... uh..... "less tactful" folks.

 

[misconfig]

I love me some 1911's

 

[meanone92]

1911 are very great guns. UNfortunately I had to sell mine due to lay off, but will own more one of these days.

I owned a RIA 1911. Read alot of posts from people calling them cheap. I never had the first problem with mine. It shot every kind of ammo I fed it with no problem. I never had to wait on any kind of a break in time.

Another great thing about them is how easy they are to shoot. I'm not a great shot, but with my 1911 i looked like i've been shooting for years.

The only negative thing i could say about them is they will cost ya money. cause once you get one and see all the add-ons for them you start spending!

 

[johnwaynes44]

Ok, I'll settle for banning Glock threads. Stamp....inject....stamp....inject.
No really. Everyone made some pretty valid points. I think the mod is right, it would open a can of worms that is already open elsewhere. Guess when I get tire of seeing plastic I will jump back to 1911Forum.
