[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where did all the 1911s go?

Posted: 1/3/2021 1:31:15 PM EDT

Sold my Combat Commander months ago. On the lookout for another one. I’ve been to several shops the last week and almost all the shops I’ve been to have been sold out of any sort of 1911.

Found a TRP in 10MM yesterday but they wanted $1600 for it. I’d prefer a Commander size, non lightweight model.

I’m surprised that out of all the handguns that are low in inventory, it would be the 1911s.

Any leads on a Colt Combat Commander?

Has PSA introduced their 1911 yet?

All guns have been a hot thing for awhile now. The demand has just now gotten to the less wanted pistols, IMO.

Please help me, Obi-one fxntime. You're my only hope. I cannot find what I'm looking for anywhere. I have a feeling i'll be waiting awhile for a Colt Combat Commander. I would settle for a quality Springfield as long as it has a steel frame.

I did find a Springfield RO Elite I believe in 9mm. But it had an aluminum alloy frame. I prefer steel frames. Just not sure I want fill size.

Well, I have a ''few'' 1911's hence the

CC's tend to be hit and miss and the best way for a new one is on line right now at one of the bigger distributors. Colt is really goofy and has been a long time because of how they push models out the door.

I like the CC models but if they are slower sellers then the Commander model then Colt will probably run a whole lot more of those first. Of course Colt is in the same situation as so many other makes right now as they are selling pretty much everything they can push out the door.

That's weird. In my AO 1911s are the one thing that seems to not be selling. There are a few guns nobody wants. 1911s (no 45 ammo) springfield XDs and a few other odd ball things. No Glocks, no sigs, all mainstream guns are gone! Plenty of revolvers and hi-points also.

I asked a guy at the gun counter and they said the 1911s aren't selling because there's no 45 ammo. Also I noticed that most of them were kimber and taurus, so maybe that's why they weren't selling.

I've been hunting for a commander 1911 and the only thing I can find is kimbers full size guns. Guy at LGS said springfield has been the best at keeping up with orders. There bigger shop with 4 locations

When 45 is the same price (or less!!!) to shoot the 1911 looks even better. By me ACP is 45 cents a round and 9mm is 65+ cents. I take my 1911s to the range every trip.

I was gonna do that anyway, but still

Virtually everything firearm related is hard to get right now, save magazines for some reason. I expect that won't be the case for much longer. If you really want one bad, you'll probably be stuck with auction sites like Gunbroker, unless you're lucky enough to find one locally.

They released it years ago, but haven't made any in a couple years. My dad bought a two-tone but we haven't shot it yet.

I was saving up to buy my grandnephew a Springfield TRP for a graduation present. Now that I have the money I can’t find one. Still have a few months but don’t like cutting it so close.
