45 auto shooters

Doc45

I think that John Browing got right. Ever 1911 maker now still uses his design with only minor mods. That's a lot to say for a platform that's been around this long. By the way, I also like Ruger single actions in 45 Colt.

The first pistol I ever bought was a 1911A1 clone; an Argentine copy of the 1911A1. After that I bought a Colt Gold Cup. I justified it because I was shooting bullseye and some informal IDPA stuff. I actually carried that Gold Cup concealed for awhile. I don't recommend it. Too many sharp edges and corners.

So I could stop carrying the Gold Cup concealed I bought a Colt Officer's model 1991A1 and fixed it up for carry. I also experimented with 357 Magnum and 44 S&W Special revolvers for a time when I had a shoulder injury that prevented me from running the slide on an automatic.

After that I carried an HK Compact 45 for about 9 years. That was a very accurate and reliable pistol (as a matter of fact it's the most accurate and reliable autoloader I ever carried) but I got lonely for the 1911 platform.

Last spring I bought a Springfield Commander length 1911A1 (Champion Operator) with the aluminum frame. It's a pretty comfortable pistol to carry and I haven't had too much cause to complain about the accuracy.

For those of you who might call me a traitor to John Browning for carrying the HK, go take one apart. It's not the 1911A1 but the design sure looks like the Browning High Power.

I've been carrying my Stainless Officers for 20 years, as I age and my back is worsening, I find myself grabbing my Glock 36. I can carry that all day in a Fobus and not know it's there half the time. When I ride, I'm grabbing the Glock and carry in my concealment vest. I may switch it up and put my Ultra Carry Stainless on the permit and try it out for comfort, the alloy frame should make a difference.

I would Highly recomend the Kimber 1911 covert. The gun is (edit) near a mortgage payment but has never failed me.

Well, I've got one Colt .45 and several Springfield .45's and love em all. All have been tuned for IPSC and shoot very well. I had to remove the comp on the Colt to qualify for the IDPA. But, I'm getting use to it. It still groups well. I just have to get in shape now. I'm a fat boy and hard to get around the old belly for the shooting around the various stages.

I shoot a llama 1911 knock off for my combat shooting matches at the gun club and it has been a really good gun for not a lot of money. After the trigger job and polishing the feed ramps, it has been excellent. The best part about it is it didn't cost an arm and a leg!

I have a Kimber Classic 2 shoots very good groups paid $ 700. Well worth it for the accuracy.

Have two, a Kimber target model, and a worked Thompson/Auto Ordnance(Bar-Sto barrel, match grade hammer/sear/trigger (3.5lb pull), reworked slide rails and polished ramp). The Kimber is an excellent gun for the $$. The Thompson shoots 2" @ 50yds, but I have a lot of $$ in it.... Favorite handload: 4.0 gns of Bullseye behind a 200 gn semi wadcutter.
