I'm picking up a new 1911 in the morning, I narrowed the choices to a Dan Wesson Stainless (Bobtail Commander size), a Parkerized Spring Field Loaded and a Blued Colt Government Model (series 80) no bells, no whistles and it rattles when you shake it. Funny but I find myself drawn to the Colt.  What do you guys think ?

I would go for the Colt or the Springfield. I think that parkerized Springfield is one of the best values and nicest packages for a 1911. Good finish, night sights, beavertail, ambi-safety, etc. All for like $700. I'm also a huge Colt fan based on the performance I've seen from their pistols. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. |
Nice CBOB!!! Rabon, for safety's sake, until your new sweetie is broken in, use some lithium grease ( or tetra gun grease if you have it ) on the slide rails in addition to your standard lube. This will keep the stainless from galling if the fit is a bit tight. Once it's broken in....I don' think you'll have to worry aboout it. |
