I have pretty long fingers, so guns with wide grips don't tend to bother me as much as they do other people with hands similar in size to mine. If you take a look at that picture on my profile showing a P226 in my hand, you can see what my hands look like. |

Your 4506
You should sell it on Gunbroker.com so I can enjoy it.
I misunderstood what you meant by "big". |

I got my eyes set on a 1911 one day.

I prefer the series 70s because they are very customizable but any Colt works for me. Colt made the best 1911s in my opinion.

The key word there is "made." Nowadays, I think Springfield does the best job, sheerly because of their kick ass customer service, which makes your gun virtually immortal. Plus you can get custom grade tackdrivers for much lower prices than an original WWII/Series 70 Colt made 1911s, or lower than a lot of other company's guns. Colts are collectors first, and shooters second, Springfields are vice versa.
Also, no comment on my Christmas present? : ( |

I dunno, I do like my Kimbers. Hell of a gun, though the parkerising on the Custom IIs is pretty bad. Easy fix though.
I agree about that Colt made some of the best originals, though a WWII Remington Rand has its charms... Quote:

Here's my gun
Webley MkVI, cylinder's been converted though. Havent fired it yet, due to the crippling fear I have of using modern, high power rounds in this old warhorse, so I've been looking for someone to create for me, some powered down rounds. |

Problem you're gonna find loading for that is it really shoots best with lead bullets - .45 Colt bullets are a little undersized, but work well enough without getting into really expensive casting setups. Load a 250 grain bullet to about 600 FPS and you're within the ballpark of what the .455 should be doing.
When these were first converted in the 50s and 60s guys shot USGI surplus in them all the time, but it's still a proposition I can't really recommend. I've got a Mk.VI that's still in .455 and it's a joy to shoot. |
