You shot Rodentman's 50GI?? :o :shock: Seeing as you have small hands and thus a justified preference for smaller guns, how was it shooting that monster 6" slide with a full sized frame and 300 grains of lead coming out the barrel?? My 5" bbl has been shot by quite a few women during WOT classes, and when that happens I go home with no defense ammo left.

Rodentman's 50 GI was great! It was much softer than I expected.
I'm trying to not think about how much I liked it. I really do not want to buy another 1911.
I do not want to add another caliber to reload for.

Well made heavy guns do a great job at absorbing recoil. We shot a Wilson Combat Govt. 45acp with a bull barrel and it is really soft.
The Alchemy build is a CCO sized 1911 but has a steel frame and that gun isn't bad either.

Sawgrass, if you decide to "lighten" your collection to get the 50GI I am ready for my first CCO :)

I think Buds has a Guncrafter model one for sale ;)
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

I'll keep that in mind but my current plan is to not buy any and to not sell any.

Arnzen Arms had a Wilson Combat Bill Wilson Carry model the other day!
The BWC is a fabulous CCO 1911 with many upgrades.
I shoot the BWC better than anything else that I have.

I am afraid to go there. They also have a two tone Nighthawk that I literally drooled over... beautiful attention to detail.

Yeah, I was sure that you wouldn't having any problem shooting it, and the only issues for you are the frame size and lugging 3 full pounds of gun around somewhere on your person. For me an extra three pounds is like throwing another deck chair on the Titanic, and considering a DE50 with Hogue finger groove grips fits perfectly in my hand, it's the little subcompacts that I don't like to shoot.
