I've got the bug...

[bteague2]

the 1911 bug. My buddy came into town this weekend and brought his High Standard 1911. He let me take it apart and handle it all weekend. It just felt great and watching him take it completely apart and putting it back together (something that voids the XD warranty) was pretty cool. So I know have to add a 1911 to my list of gun diseases that I need to (pro)cure. (sorry couldn't help it )

Did you have a chance to shoot the HS? Could you give me your impressions. I have seen a few of these locally very reasonablly priced.

This wasn't Walker Texas. . . showing off his piece was it?

The last show I saw, (re-run) he was carrying a SS Beretta 92.

Unfortunately it must be something in the water. Like amoebic dysentary or something. I got to handle my next door neighbor's Smith 1911Sc and it was love. Now I want a sissy leather holster with matching belt and clip holder.

Wow!! Rabbi, I can't believe what I'm hearing!! You're in love with a Smith that doesn't have a cylinder?

There is hope for the world!

But seriously, 1911s are fun, and Smith makes pretty nice ones, too, even for the money!

I was surprised because I noticed the unsupported chamber and external extractor.

But the quality of workmanship and the scandium frame really appeal to me.

I didn't get to shoot his HS 1911 but he said he'd bring it back next time he visits. I like the Springfield GI 1911, although I haven't handled one yet I'm going to assume most 1911's are basically similar.
