So I've Figured Out That I Want a 1911. Now What?

[clarkz71]

Sorry man, 1911s are an expensive game. I would pick up a few Wilson Combat 47 Series mags. You can generally find them for $30-$35.

Good mags are mandatory, I've never even used the Colt mags that came with my XSE LW Commander.

I have 6 Wilson ETM mags, top shelf stuff. Brownells had them on sale for $26.95 each.
Wilson recently had a sale on their website for that same price. Just shop around.

Little known, incredible pistols, awesome value.

Alex Zimmernann in my opinion is the current reigning World's Leading Genius of the 1911. He is a friend, yes.... but he was all this first and it is no less true.

Gulp... I sure hope those are what seem to be working for most people. Those are what I planned on running lol.

I have ran the Kim pro tac mags and they were ok. But I'm switching to the Wilson Vickers mags

No problem, what sold me was their description ... testing & refinement of their product.

Right, because if you read the thread you would know that the OP already made his purchase.

The OP hasn't posted since post #17 in the thread. On the other hand, the poster who announced his purchase of the RIA entered the thread at post #24.

"Askhole" the person that ask your opinions, and opinions of many, wears your ass out gaining knowledge. Then ignores everything he has been told. ASKHOLE !

In 25 years of public safety, I thought I'd heard them all. Thanks for making me crack a smile today Pappabear; love it!!!!

Pappabear, I have not dealt with them at that level. I would assume top notch, knowing the company, but I don't know from experience.

They completely ignore everything told to them. I think half the time, they ask after they bought the cheap gun or whatever. But what the hell, life goes on.
