So wait...a double stack 1911 about the size of a standardized single stack? this what you are saying?
YES
Carefully look at that spreadsheet above. Compare the MTX to the 1911 measurements.
Here is something else to chew on.
The GRIP CIRCUMFERENCE measurements:
MTX -double stack 45- 5.34"
CM -single stack 45- 5.218"
Glock 26 -dbl sk 9mm- 5.96"
Sig250 -dlb stk 9mm- 5.35"
1911 -single stack 45- 5.706"
STI -double stack 45- 5.8"
So really what I am saying is that it is smaller than a SINGLE STACK 45acp in some ways, clearly smaller than a DOUBLE STACK 45 in every way, and actually similar to or smaller than 9mm DOUBLE STACKS.
This company has one of the only 9-Axis CNC milling machines in the midwest, it allows them to mill at virtually any angle possible and lets them mill to much tighter tolerances than other companies. My best friend owns his own machine shop, he has 3 CNC milling machines that are 2 and 3 axis machines. I know how much he spent for those, he said the 9-Axis machine is a million dollar baby. Not sure if he means that literally or not, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me.
This one if price is a factor... dollar for dollar the RIA's are real hard to beat...RIA 1911 GI
This one if you feel like splurgingKimber Pro CDP 2(The one I really want, most expensive):
... I would buy a good used Springfield or a Para model...
They should be commercially available within the next week or two.Where would I be able to get my hands on one?
You won't go wrong with anything made by Springfield Armory.
I just wish they used more American made parts. They are great guns. Just wish it wasn't made from mostly imported stuff.I forgot to say:
I also agree with the Springfield guys.

If price is a real concern, hands down Springfield A-1, friend got one a month ago, he has 500 rounds thru it and not one problem. Two weeks later I bought the A-1 Loaded, 200 rounds no problem. He paid 640.oo for the A-1 and you can always build/upgrade from there. You'll have this gun the rest of your life and even pass it on to your kids.
What would YOU know about 1911's! Mrs.Extremevel teaches with my wife! She spoke highly of you.....I set her straight about that!Don't discount the ATI, which is in that RIA price range. Mine's proven to be super reliable. I recommended it to XtremeVel and his Mrs.
They shot mine, and went and got one for themselves...having the same good experience with theirs, to my knowledge.
Conversely, my RIA has been back to Armscor twice.
Given time and circumstance, I can put one of the other.
She spoke highly of you.....I set her straight about that!
Just got one in on Friday... come see me! It'll be a little less than what the tag says. But only if you bring me chocolate.You really should sell me an ATI........
