What 1911 do you want for Christmas?

I decided I'm going to get one. I'd like to try a TRP.

TRP is a good one. Just be careful of the price NIB at a dealer, it can creep up into gently used DW or LB territory.

I've noticed... Buds price on the stainless is in the 12s. A local brick and mortar wanted 18... Got a buddy who may be able to order from RSR. The FBI model is listed in RSR but for that money I'd get a WC.

I picked up another Protector a few days before Christmas. Santa did bring me a Hornady safe, but I think I broke it.

congrats! good thing you broke the safe now and not when you critically need it to work haha.

nice pistol. try it before you buy it. I find the 20 lpi front strap checkering to be quite aggressive. I think it is made for gloved hands hence "Tactical Response Pistol". good luck!

I know of a gently used DW that will be for sale as soon as the replacement rear sight gets delivered.... :eyebrows:

Got a new Para Black Ops 14.45 for $599. Less than half of MSRP. Pretty accurate so far.

Well did anybody get a 1911 for Christmas? I wasn't expecting a 1911 for Christmas but came across a killer deal on a Nighthawk Custom. More than $1k off of MSRP. I said shut up and take my money!

It didn't happen if you don't show a pic...let's see that bad boy!

Yep, the locksmith had to drill it to get my 1911 out. I was like: "please don't hurt my precious". Lol. Not sure why or how it broke, but my wife is gonna laugh. Things that are not well made have a tendency to break around me or my kids. RapID safe: Neat concept, poor execution.

I ended up buying one on the 23rd from a forum member. Kind of an interesting springfield that I can't find too much info on.

It's a 4" barrel on an officer frame. Milspec sights... Made in Brazil...

It ain't pretty, and is getting dropped off to 1911junky for a cerakote job and some new parts from WC.

She'll make a fine shooter/truck gun by the end of it.

Anyone else see this yesterday?

 

[Dan1612]

Hmmm... I don't think I like it. :shrug:

It's definitely not traditional.

Im glad BCM ventures into the 1911 market. They are a good company with a solid reputation. Not a fan of the serrations though.

They look cool on the XTac, but they're not very grippy. I like aggressor checkering like on a TRP though.

I could live with the serrations but I'm not a fan of rails on a 1911.

The star along with the Xs, make it look a little too metal militia for me.
As far as co-branding, I'm not a fan, usually it dilutes either one or both brands, the Magpul M&P15 is kinda silly, it does generally work for Nighthawk though, and I'd love to get a hold of a Nighthawk or Wilson Vickers gun. I had one slip through my fingers recently. I'm a big Vickers fan, he is THE anti-Yaeger, I can't stand that Ed Hardy wearing, loudmouth, douche.

The Hackathorn Wilson is sweet too, aside from the short trigger, but that's an easy fix.

Wilson posted more pics of it on their Facebook.

It looks like they made it for Kim Jong Un. Looks communist.

I guess you could ditch the grips but that evil star is on the frame on the other side.
