Note: While I've fondled/shoot a production 1911 or two, my main squeeze is my custom 1911
I like 1911s more than anything else I've tried.
A family member has an HK45c, LEM unit in it.
- The HK45c is a neat size. If you've not held one in person, you might find it's a little larger than you expect, but it's not a big gun.
- Ergonomically it's pretty nice for a modern plastic doublestack gun.
- Very few, if any guns are going to have that "1911 trigger feeling". It's one of the things that makes the gun special, and a big reason why despite the criticisms of weight, capacity, maintenance schedule, cost etc, that the platform has endured. It's not a fair comparison/expectation, IMHO.
- If you want a gun, you should probably get it, because 'merica. And this curiosity/interest gets you to the range, and practicing - both those things help in the long!
- My opinion here? If you would part with a gun, you just don't like it that much, keep searching until you find a gun you "would never get rid of"!
- You can always get another 1911 in the future if you miss it. You might even be able to try different guns, or get a great deal on it and you don't want to pass it up!
I say do it
