Still looking for my next 1911

[HansGruber]

Ok...I have reached a decision

Dan Wesson Specialist OR
Final answer

Will have to save for about 7 months but it's the choice

You won’t regret it.

Seriously, if it’s got everything you want, it’s the way to go…why settle.

Or
Springfield Armory TRP

Or
Springfield Armory TRP

The TRO isn’t OR, and I don’t think they make an IR model…plus, it has MIM small parts

The DW is a better pistol, imho.

I think I misunderstood OP's last post. You are correct.

Yeah the idea all along was a 5 inch with light and optic...this way I do t have to spend the money on slide work, and to get the all black it is just a grip change and that has to happen because I need thin grips...I have baby hands

 

[powerboatr]

i would like to purchase a DW...however
the price is hard swallow for a range pistol and no way would i ever risk scratching it up carrying it in the truck.

i have 2 D/W's, the Pointman PM 45 and the Heritage, both in 45 ACP of course...you made a very good choice with D/W, so much so, you may not want that Ed Brown

I have an 80K truck that I am not afraid to abuse by throwing the DW in there.... I have never been afraid to use my things, I pay to enjoy the stuff I want/like!!!

This is a possibility, DW makes a few carry size 45's that I like as well at about 1/2 the price. The EB was going to be my CC pistol

I carried my Baer Custom Carry for years…now I carry a Wilson X9 instead when I would’ve carried the 1911.

Fact is, I don’t shoot or carry the LB nearly as much as it deserves…probably going to let it go to someone who will.

 

[PAGunGuy]

No, I want a rail, just not a fan of any "full" rail, to include the TRP, and I like me a SA

Gotcha

I have a DW Vigil in 45acp. Really like it but would like to get the Pointman PM 45acp. Right now the old budget wont let me

 

[McGanksta]

A OR Specialist just became available, for a really good price, now I have to be nice and ask my wife if I can put it on a CC...lol

My wife would probably want to shoot me if I used a CC to buy another gun. Good luck

 

[McGanksta]

I would have to pay it off quick, but I am still pretty sure she will say no!
All good....but worth a shot!

Part of me wants to skip the OR Version, and get it milled for the Nighthawk IOS down the line
