I have 3 1911's, 1 in 38 super and 2 .45s son that's not really an issue. I guarantee they are all real but so are striker guns. Try one you never know they grow on you.
Walther is finally bringing out the PPQ in 45 acp. Pics and video is out with a Oct release date. As a fan of the "Q" this is sending tingles all over my body.
I have the ppq and absolutely love it. Ergos are great, with the ppq giving you the choice of paddle mag release or button depending on model. Shoot them both if possible or flip a coin, I doubt you will be unhappy with either.
Check out the Beretta PX-4 Storm in .45. I have a dead reliable 9mm with my pal just getting the .45. The recoil impulse is very nice with the rotating barrel soaking up the recoil.
I have a buckmark camper, inexpensive but reliable as hell. I just shoot the federal bulk you can get anywhere and the pistol does great on it. A bit easier to clean than the Ruger in my opinion.
Here comes the panic probably for good reason. Try to find an AR mag or a Glock, we can be our own worst enemy. I have to go now and shop for components.
