What's on your list to get next?

Saving my pennies for this one.

Really like the way this one is all optioned out.

Plan on getting a tirant or that YHM 45 can.

Dan Wesson makes a nice 1911

Interesting choice. I wasn't aware of this offering from Wesson. I bought a 2011 Valor in celebration of 100 years of the 1911 model. Wesson makes a good solid 1911.

Either a dan Wesson compact or a used detonics combat master

Probably CMP if/when that happens.

Building one is on my bucket list. I have all the tools and have done a bunch of stuff to my "test mule" (an old Springfield GI).

They look easier than ever to build, especially from an 80%.

The rock island 2011 vz . I can never seem to find them in stock when I'm ready to buy.

Don't know yet.

Local shop has a Colt Gold Cup Trophy Match that's intriguing. They also have a rail gun, but I'm not in to railed 1911s.

Had my eye on a Wiley Clapp government model and a couple Dan Wesson offerings.

I'm down to 3 1911s now and a 4th is needed. So many choices to make...

I actually just got my "grail gun", but had to send it back for repair. anxiously waiting for it to return. Wont spoil the surprise as to what it is yet (will make a thread about it when it returns), but I will say it is a Springfield Armory 1911.

At some point I'd also love a DW Valkyrie, that would be #2 on my list.

Dan Wesson Valor in 9mm whenever I get the money.

Better get on that as they are discontinuing it.

Just got a DW blued Valor. Now I'm looking at a 9mm DW of some sort.

I want another older Combat Elite that hasn't been fucked-with too much. My last one was nice, but only shot well with the parts that it had fitted, and shot like crap if one part was changed.

Posted: 1/26/2018 8:58:32 PM EDT

A 10mm of some flavor. Or maybe a .38 Super.

I'm thinking I need a CCO style 1911, not sure if I want 45acp or 10mm though, hmm... Tough choices

I have a professional on the way. It will be my last most likely.

I really want to score a DW Valkyrie 9mm before they all dry up, bit we'll see.

Nothing fancy or custom. I'm looking for an older Colt 1991 with the matte black finish or the new Colt Combat Commander.

I snagged one of these on Friday. It’s as tight as my TRP was.

Bout to hit the range in the rain this morning to see how it shoots then the slide is off to Harrison.

Just snagged a new sti guardian 9mm crimson trace model for 1000 on gb. It will be sporting a 38super barrel soon.

Think I am pretty much done. I have a SA Mil Spec customized the way I wanted it(for now) by Springfield's Custom Shop. It may be under going a re-do into a Gen 4 Meu Soc. Plus I just bought a SA Pro. And already have a Long Beach Operator

I "thought" my next one was going to be a CCO of some kind, but I saw the Dan Wesson Valor in blue had been discontinued so I fell on one of those!

Besides the CCO, I am thinking I need a 10mm Valor in Duty Treat.

And I really need to finish up the Wiley Clapp GM that is scattered all over my bench and send it off for blueing.

Posted: 1/28/2018 4:15:43 PM EDT

Next one? I have what is probably going to be my last one.
Night Hawk Custom Recon Enforcer 10mm

" />

I also have a Dan Wesson Specialist Commander in 10mm and a Dan Wesson Silverback 10mm (on the right) which had that stupid Recover Tactical plastic grip replacement that adds a plastic light rail to most any 1911 pistol. It sucked and I took it off and put the original grips back on.

All of mine are 10mm. I got rid of all of my previous 1911 pistols which were .45 ACP. I also had a brand new Colt in 38 Super. Believe me, after shooting both, you want a 10mm, not a 38 Super. The 38 Super is about like shooting a 9mm. Probably a little bit more accurate than 9mm.

I'd prefer the Commander. I know they're still available now, but my bank balance...isn't.

Yes, but I wasn't aware that included recreating guns that were no longer in production.

Ever shot a supressed 1911?
I don't know why, but I never liked shooting any of my 1911's suppressed compared to to shooting my other guns suppressed.

I've been thinking of getting a small lightweight 9mm 1911 like a officers size model. Perhaps the new Ruger lightweight 1911 as I don't really want anything too expensive. Just something that's reliable so its fun to shoot. All my current 1911's are government length and I'd just like to get something for a small range toy.

Only have a 22 can and I have wanted a suppresed 1911 for awhile. Shot one at a range and didn't seem that bad.

I have a SA RO Champion on lay away.

Railed Pro.

I hadn't bought a 1911 in years before I got my Pro a couple months ago, and now I want a railed one so that I can mount my X300u on it, and retire the Gen 4 Glock 34 that has been my nightstand pistol for many years now.

Posted: 1/29/2018 3:51:49 AM EDT

[#46]

Either the Ruger 10mm...or SA for the 9x19 1911 but after the storm that happened with them, that's off of the list for now

Posted: 1/29/2018 10:47:03 PM EDT

Colt Talo Government or Commander if the price is right.

Posted: 1/30/2018 4:11:03 AM EDT

I've been wanting the STI DVC Classic 1911 or the Wilson Combat Vickers Elite.

I told myself last year that I'd get it this year. Maybe next year.

Hold one before you do. Loved mine as it was as reliable as my glocks.

Didn’t like the 20 lpi on the front strap or “tactical” on the frame. For the money I’d look at the DW Valors

Posted: 1/30/2018 10:52:59 AM EDT

[#50]

My next 1911 will be my 1st. Im know I want a DW Valor. Still deciding on the finish and full size vs commander vbob.

Any suggested places for best prices? Or is Gun Broker my best option?
