Im not trying to sound like a fanboy but the same old topic phrased a thousand different ways gets old. And for some reason its only Glock

    I have never seen any 'bashing' on 1911fourm.
    I have been a member there for a long time, but took a break for a while, and have only been going back for a little over a year, but never saw anyone discuss Glocks at all.

    They are pretty good about keeping the topics germane, and even booted a known gunsmith for trash talking...

    That forum is known for it and rightly so.

    I have been a member there for quite a few years and I haven't noticed Glock bashing. I'm sure it has happened at one time or another but not enough to come even close to "always".

    The 2 best 1911 forums on the web are 1911forum and 1911pro. 1911forum is a great place for general knowledge and there is much more content. 1911pro is a great resource if you want to go deeper on the technical side. It was started by top shelf gunsmiths.

    Louder than Words is another great site started by several custom gunsmiths. They are not 1911 specific but it is a great resource.

    Actually, with the exception of the odd High-Power, I would say that LTW is perhaps the quintessential 1911-specific site on the web; however, the scope and purpose of the site are such that it tends to be a fairly quiet resource these days. The guns discussed and presented there comprise the absolute pinnacle of the art where the 1911 is concerned, and one need only review the list of site principals to see why: pistolsmiths like Bailey, Burton, Christensen, Harrison and Yost, to name just a few. You'll also find guys like John Ralston, Chuck Rogers and Patrick Sweeney there. Trouble is, what was once conceived as a place where the best in the business might share details of their latest work and provide other technical insights, things more or less reached a point a few years ago where either most everything seemed to have been said already, or the trade knowledge that some expected to flow never really was all that forthcoming for obvious reasons. LTW is the place where guys who are very serious about these guns still pop in with some regularity, but it is also a place where a $7k 1911 is fully-understood and appreciated, so your typical newcomer to the pistol is not going to find much of direct relevance to his interests there.

    Not a lot of discussion, as far as forums go, but definitely the place to see and learn about the finest 1911s being built today by the most talented guys in the trade.
