This was what I was hoping for. Some answers. Thanks for all the advice. I consider my taxes my charity. The “Save the Wally” fund probably isn’t tax deductible.
I have shot both an XD and a 1911 the 1911 was awhile ago, and not much but I liked it. The XD wasn’t that long ago, and I liked it when I pulled it up the sties were right on. Well better than my Glocks, and they have 13+1. My master plan is to have both an XD and a 1911 it just takes time to get this done. There are a lot of reasons I want a 1911. One because it’s a 1911, it is Americana. Two because who wouldn’t want one? I’m not too worried about carrying something with a safety. I have been trained to turn safeties on and off mostly rifles and machine guns, and limited with a handgun. The military takes people from all different back grounds and gets them up to speed with safeties pretty fast; I don’t think their all bad. I would bet my life I could train myself back to where I was quick. If it doesn’t work out for carry I still want a dead reliable house 1911. Although I came real close to buying a 6in. GP100 that thing just says house gun (I already own 2 12ga, and an AK I know rifles are the best thing so save your breath). Not every handgun I buy has to be for carry.
So from what I got here the middle of the road $1000 gun will work for me, and last a life time. I’m not really into pretty things; I just want it to take a beating and run. Thank you for your thoughts.
Rucker when ever I do this we can go shoot it.
