I just purchased my first 1911; pic related. Besides getting a variety of magazines like the WC ETCs to see which works the best, what should I know?

Know how to field strip and clean it. Practice. Get a holster if plan on carrying. Really the same shit you should do for any gun OP.
Nice choice, shoot it and enjoy it, hope you become a proud member of the cult
Spergfeld makes great 1911s.
Mine was actual garbage, traded it and a couple surp rifles for a Chevy Trailblazer
Cant all be perfect, I guess. Dunno what you want me to say mate. Im not answerable for your shit gun. Springfield could be.

>Mfw I have no face
I've had mine for about five years. It's been reliable, though it can be cumbersome when conceiled carrying. I'm considering the emp for my next pistol.
Get the emp. I had an emp4 and it’s the only gun I really regret trading off
There are no good 1911s for under $2000
There are no good 1911s
There are no 1911s
There are no
There are
There
There are no good guns
Based now post photos
I have to wait for the background check. Looks exactly like the pic I posted though. Can’t wait to break it in. I shot one once years ago and new that was the first 1911 I wanted to buy.

>>god forbid you buy something because you like it and not because you found it comes out on top when you quantify it’s technical qualities into spreadsheet form…
I bought one because I like it and now I don't like it. It's hopelessly obsolete and unreliable.
So you just buy garbage because it looks cool like you're a teenager with rich parents?
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE the post
Nah man, I tried it, liked it and bought it. No regerts
>>Anon at the range
feels uncomfortable
himself again “gotta get used to it, the spreadsheet says it’s the best”
Imagine being the grandson of this asshat and he just pass you down a fricking stock Glock while the rest of the kids are getting custom 1911s
A glock who's polymer will be brittle and with a useless frame at that.
>I prefer form over function
The ultimate smoothbrain logic.
I prefer feel over function. Don’t like the way blocks feel when I fire them. I like the way 1911s feel. Now… bear with me here because this ain’t spreadsheet knowledge… but… if I have to pick between two guns, both of which are perfectly capable of doing what I want… why should I not pick the one that feels better when I shoot it.. and even if the other has some advantage the first doesn’t have, the fact that I enjoy firing the first means I’m a whole lot more likely to regularly shoot it… annnd experience with your firearm beats out spreadsheet features….
You have never fired a glock, and probably never fired a 1911

I understand anon.
Don't be one of those idiots that puts your 1911 back together and scratches the frame because you're being a dumbass noob. Learn how to properly take it down and put it back together.
or you could just idiot scratch it the first time and then never have to care about it again.
Just ram a shopping cart into your brand new car bruh get it over with. Dipshit
If your car cost as much as a 1911 then yes. If you’re freaking out over your sub-1000 purchase getting dinged up you are impoverished
>NOOOOOO you can't let a SCRATCH get on a GUN!!!!!
>i frick my property up because i'm incompetent and now i must seethe with pictures i save on my PC that surely must trigger redditors
>i frick my property up because i'm incompetent and now i must seethe with pictures i save on my PC that surely must trigger redditors
You fricked up OP
OP, I have a Specialist too. You might not need the WC mags. For what its worth, the factory mags on mine are Metalforms and they (as well as the spares I bought) have literally been 100% reliable in my gun. Also, with the feed ramp cut that DW uses, my gun has no problem with hollow points--even ones with wide or steep noses.
Either way, good choice of 1911. If your experience is like mine, it'll quickly become one of your favorite guns.
Thanks. That’s is what I’m hoping for. It’s purely a fun/range gun. I already have a Mark 23 suppressed with laser/light that is my favorite pistol. Dead accurate, reliable and so fun and smooth to shoot. I hope it’s up there with that one. Different no doubt. I need a good steel 1911. I have an ‘81 Python that currently fills that gap.
I want to get my first 1911 soon. Thinking about a SA Operator despite the awful name. Idk why SA picks the worst names.
>tfw no commander length operator
i just love commander length 1911s bros
Same I think it’s well balanced in terms of aesthetics
I got one of the new AO GIs, anons. homosexual gun website drop ships so who knows when I'll pick it up. How'd I do, lads?
Anyone got experience with Girsan 1911s? That Honest Outlaw dude gives glowing praise but it feels too good to be true for the price.
don't buy turkshit
don't fall for turkshit shills
Man. I wish it was easier to find guns by other companies besides RIA, Girsan, and SDS.
Shut the frick up moron, turkshit drones are killing Russians as we speak.
My SDS 1911 is nicer than my Glock ever was. Forged steel frame, slide that’s cerakoted, forged steel barrel that’s chromed plated and lined, it has a mirror-polished feed ramp from the factory. The fitment is tight and it eats every hollow point I’ve ever put through it without fail
*forged steel frame and slide
I like mine but i cant even trust it to fire +P rounds just due to being turkshit.
And since i cant have 45+p due to that mindworm, i dont carry it.
Are you moronic or something? It says on their website it can fire +p and there’s many videos online showing this. Also you don’t need +p, standard ball ammo has killed many many many many people.
Also yes feed ramp, does yours not have one? If not you probably got a lemon, I’ve always heard of these 1911’s having feed ramps
i already posted a disassembled tisas 1911.
It has a little taper on the barrel, definitely not a feed ramp.
and if i dont trust the turks why would the turk's website telling me to trust the turks suddenly make me trust the turks, frick you.
Oh okay so you are moronic, gotcha. 1911’s can have two styles of feed ramp: a barrel feed ramp, or frame feed ramp
>sds frame feed ramp somehow mirror-polished
keep moving that goal post back you're still wrong
What in the absolute frick are you even trying to imply anymore you double gorilla Black person?
That feed ramps can’t be mirror polishes? You’ve already proven yourself to be a fricking moronic homosexual multiple times already, stop digging yourself deeper.
Stop LARPing as a gun owner when you clearly don’t understand very basic things about a 100 year old gun
also
>sds 1911
>feed ramp
Those Nagatoro grips.
My homie. 🙂
Yeah I wouldn't. Remember these youtubers make a living praising guns at best, and get free guns at worst. Nothing they say can be trusted. I would only trust the small no-name youtubers who put up reviews because they like to, not because they have hundreds and thousands of subscribers and followers.
Anyone have experience with Magnum Research's 1911 imports from BUL?
I assume that it's super reliable, weighs twice as much, it's either dirt cheap or way overpriced, and noguns will sperg about da joos if you buy one
Pretty
Bul makes good guns.
Yeah, I've been looking into them more, and I'll likely just pick up one of their standard government models directly from their stateside distributor.
Leaning towards the 9mm for a real soft shooter, but I might grab one of each caliber anyways if the first one I snag lives up to the reputation I've seen online.
finding their guns is a huge pain, not a lot of distributors and rarely on gun broker.
>izrehell
Shame, looks like a nice gun too.
own one, this was my first 1911 though.
feels better built than the Colts I held in the store, parts are stiff af, nothing rattles,
the only issue I had was the slide failing to lock back on an empty mag while shooting, but they swapped the slide stop and now its flawless.
also, from what i understood the sight cut on the magnum models are either proprietary or interchangeable with kimbers, but it might've changed since.
its a good bang for your buck.
That mallninja shit looks like it should be paired with pic related
its literally the most basic configuration you can get
Basic b***h, yes

Yeah, just take a look at this mall ninja shit in picrel.

Kek, that wouldn't look out of place in a cyberpunk setting
>attach weapon mounted light
>handgun ceases to function.
A reciprocating flashlight would look so fricking cool
Keep it reasonably clean, hollow points and flat nosed rounds can be finicky, don't get an idiot scratch.
never heard of a dan wesson being finnicky with ammo. their 1911s are primo
>I totally just bought a gun, look here's a google stock image, I'm totally not lying
So? When I get it after my background check, and then post it, then what? What difference does it make?
Then you'd be a has guns making a gun post.
Right now you nre a nogun newbie, who is already cope posting over a shit brand of a shit gun you don't even have yet.
You sound like a bitter poorgay. Probably a troony.
>ad hominems and projections
Imagine carrying 8 rounds of .45ACP in an overcomplicated, obsolete, 120-year-old design, evolutionary dead end gun, instead of carrying a double stack modern gun like a USP or a Walther or a CZ or something
>makes good point about 1911s
[Goes on to suggest garbage USP, unreliable Walthers, and a snowflake jam-o-matic CZ
Anon I...
my cz 75 has never jammed though
>whining about the gun equivalent of console wars
Quit being a b***h
My point is that there are a hundred full size double stack .45s that surpass the 1911 in every way, don't get pissy because I didn't mention your favorite brand name
like what? not the guy you’re replying to, actually curious
>Every gun you own needs to be for self defense against 6000000 attackers in a dynamically tactical WROL shooting
Just admit you're poor and tasteless.
Every gun I own needs to shoot 99.999999% of the time
1911 shoots 99% of the time at best, and that's completely unacceptable
1911s are nice.
frick is that one on the right??
>filename
Talk me out of buying a glock in .45
I know .45 is irrelevant, but something still complels me
Do you like the way it fires anon? Does it feel good in the hand? If so… fricking buy it
I just bought a rack grade 1911 from the CMP
I'm hoping for something with a Colt slide, because Colt slides are fricking cool
with that said I'll probably get another Remington Rand 🙁
Is there a gun that looks like a 1911A1, BUT is actually good internally, AND isn't a Star Model B with shit tier Spanish metallurgy?
I want a fake 1911 that doesn't suck
The 1911 doesn't suck. It's just old and has the issues most early semi-autos had.
exactly what issues do “1911s” have
all of them? certain manufacturers? certain configurations in certain calibers?
Hi power
S&W gen 3 in whatever caliber series you want. 10mm, 9mm, .45, .40 if you're a homosexual
1911 is obsolete, it'd be like carrying a C96 or a Luger or a Frommer Stop
It was hot shit around the turn of the century, but we've moved past it.
Had this prior to enlisting. Gave it to my brother since he'd just got married. Didn't get too many opportunities to shoot it, but it was pretty fun. Pain in the ass finding .45, but that's nothing new. Did I make a good choice when I bought it? Paid ~$450 back in 2012.
I still want one to go with my Norinco as a more "modern" 1911.
> Pain in the ass finding .45, but that's nothing new.
Did you live in Cali? I’ve never had trouble finding 45 except for the times of general ammo shortages when all rounds were in short supply.
Nope. NM, very close to TX, so fudds bought out everything as soon as it appeared.
Just head into Texas then
I had no issue finding .45
Is there a drop in trigger replacement for the Dan Wesson, or is that a smith job too? I hear the trigger is nice, but it isn't 2lb nice. It's also pretty generic looking. I want some skeletonizing.
nighthawk makes drop ins but idk if they're skelies
Wow. Who knew a post about a good gun would make glockgays go into a conniption fit. 110 years old and the 1911 is still making europoors seethe. Guess they are having flashbacks of Normandy.
1911 is a great gun. spend 500-700 dollars on a lower end model and you’ll have a reliable shooter for life.
Get a 2011
