1911 Fit for Duty?

[Roy]

There talks of possily allowing some people at work to Carry 1911's, after a change over course from Glock.

Id like to get one just in case and lets face it I just want one. I already have a PRO which I LOVE

But id like to get one with a RAIL... Imwondering what else to look at
Trying to be around $2500.00
I get some guns at dealer cost from a shop i work part time at soo let me know what you reccomend for duty... and ill check out prices

Considerations
Nighthawk GRP
Wilson CQB RAIL
ED BROWN SPECIAL FORCES
Springfield PRO RAIL (operator)

Let me know what you think and why. Main reason or adversion to another PRO is the wait.

There are some good links to 1911 discussions (duty grade) on 10-8 in this thread:

There is also a good review of the status of the 1911 today, that is worth a look.

well i guess my gut to go with another PRO was right

[Spiffums]

Naw I don't think the 1911 has been around long enough to get all the bugs worked out of it. I would give it another 100 years or so before I bet my life on it. Now these 20 to 30 year old plastic guns are good to go out of the box.

All of those you list would make great choices. Like any other weapon, I would run it with a good amount of duty rounds to "proof it". I guess I just don't like to say 'break in".

What exactly have you "thrown at" it?

I love my Ed Brown. I'd go that route.

The white rings around the tritium really stand out for daytime shooting. I hate the silver rings that Springfield uses by default.

I had them put white ringed novaks on my Custom Springield when they built it.

Springfield Pro, no question.
