Happy 1911 Day.

I guess I'll take my High Standard out of the safe and rub it down with a soft cloth or something

I wish more 1911s would be made without the ugly front cocking serrations, seems most people hate em but every gun these days is made with them, im betting one reason the range officer was so well recieved was lack of them.

For some, too many 1911s is never enough. I shudder to think of how large the 1911 page here on imfdb is and how some people might actually have such a large collection, if not bigger.

I was going to respond to this a few days ago but forgot.

That's a great thread. I didn't realize Kimber used cast frames. I knew about them using MIM parts, even on their higher end customs. Even though the cast frames might not every pose a problem. If I was to spend that kind of money, I would want forged.

Honestly it depends on the quality of the castings or forgings to me. Either has to be done well. It seems every internet forum says that forgin is wayyy better than cast, but i think a frame cast by caspian will be better than one forged by a company like lorcin, and ruger parts are almost all cast and known for ruggedness.....I agree forged beats MIM though, but Kimber is pretty pricy for what you get there, and there 1 year warranty blows for the high end prices......Ive shot a ton of rounds through a base custom 2 however and it has run 100% with factory mags....i had two jams on a cheap promag or triple k or something like that but those are crap.

I think its funny the guy with the coolest 1911 collection ive ever seen is the biggest glocktalker ive ever seen but you know, jsut cause its a glock site doesnt mean that somebody with taste wont show up

I do enjoy me a good 1911

I want a loaded parked or range officer, springer is the most bang for the buck IMO, i just hate front serrations.

Springers are nice. I have put round after round through mine and had no malfunctions or issues of any sort. I have only used it as a range gun though and not put it through too much stress. I spent too much money on it and it is too pretty for me to use for competition or anything.
