What 1911 do you recommend to buy?

I really hate to admit it, but Pinnacle is a truly excellent shot. He took my Nighthawk Talon II (commander sized 1911) and put an entire mag through one jagged hole at about 5 meters. He turned around to me, with (both) eyes open wide, and just said, "Wow!"

Impressive! I couldn't do that no matter how good the gun.

I think the Kimber Raptor is calling my name and pegged for purchase when I can afford one.


What a nice looking gun...

I sure like mine.

I am seeing some holster wear on the gun but it has at least a thousand presentations so I guess it is due.

Great shooter.

[Pinnacle]

I have one (Pro Raptor) it is a good shooter. The finish is wearing (I like that - gives the gun charachter) from holster presentations - other than that - it is a sweet shooter.

It is a heck of a nice gun - it shoots very well - the Pro length (4") is nice.

I'm down to two 1911's. I won't part with ether of them. They are both short barreled .45's. One is an Colt mark IV Series 80, alloy Officers Model. The other is a Kimber Ultra Tactical. I have fired thousand of rounds through both. Never had any kind of a FTF , FTE. Not any failures.

I LOVE both of them.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE

That nighthawk is simply stated - just about the ultimate 1911 period - it is all business and it is sleek and well appointed and absolutely wonderfully fitted - tight - but not too tight just tighter than Mil-Spec

the sights are absoultely perfect - trigger is fantastic.. A fine piece of work - someday perhaps I will own one.

Again - it is hard to go wrong with a 1911 - if you are going to buy one - buy the best one that you can afford with the features that you want right from the factory - going back and adding after the fact can be spendy
