    Need help, I've fallen in love.

    Fondled a new Cylinder & Slide Adventurer today. Where has this lil' darlin been all my life.

    I'm trying to wean myself off of 1911s. This ain't gonna help. Never been a high dollar guy, mostly Colts and Springers.

    But damn I love the feel of that C&S. Kinda turned off by the price tag ($3000), and the proprietary mags. I'm gonna resist, I like my money where it is. It's one fine piece though.

    Resist it. I know they're pretty, but 1911s are like broads... nothing but trouble in the long run.

    You say that, but it's in a shop in Prescott Valley. You go feel it up and see if you can hold out.

    Blasphemy. Like broads, you just have to know how to keep them happy and functional. ( :

    Why does it have proprietary mags? I do think that is unusual and would be a cause of concern to me. Is it 9 or 45?

    It's 45ACP. The mags are 5 rounders, cut down by C&S for the bobbed grip.

    ETA: It is a custom 3" 1911 with a bobbed grip, very compact.

    Wouldn’t a 7 or 8 rd. work, but stick out of the bottom?
    I’d use those for a reload anyhow.

    Been in love with my Series 70 since high school.

    I would assume so. Mag catch is in the same location. Didn't try swapping mags in the store.

    This is painfully true, and really feels right if you try to keep more than one of them going properly.
