Anyone have one? My fiancee made a deal with me,that if I quit smoking she'll buy me the 1911 of my choice.I will not only live a longer better life but I'll have a sweet pistol as well. I want a all stainless pistol with a commander upper and I perfer a officer lower.I'm looking at the Nighthawk T3, Wilson CQB Compact and the Ed Brown Executive Carry/Kobra Carry.Am I missing any?Which would you pick and why? I could have George Smith and his EGW crew make me one but I dont want to wait. Thoughts?

I just ordered a Volkmann.  Check them out before you buy.  I can't find any bad commentary on them.

Les Baer Premier II Super Tac is what I would get but all you just listed are all good pistols.

You want to win your challenge with out the nicotine urges. Have your Doctor prescribe you some Wellbutrin. It works.




As for Volkmann you won't find any bad reviews. He's a friend of a friend and comes from Ed Brown's stable. Really nice guy and down to earth from everything I've heard about him and his work... well you know.

Volkmann is kind of like Nighthawk they are all from Wilson who started them.  I would love to work for one of the big high end builders some day.

Chantix also works my best friend is on it.  He has gone from 3 packs a day to maybe 1 or 2 cigarettes in a day and can barely smoke them half way.  The hardest part for me when I was in high school was breaking the habit not the nicotine.  If at any time post the option of getting a new pistol or smoking cigarettes and let us do the convincing which one you need more.  My bet is we will have a 100% consensus that you need the pistol more then the cigarette.

Heirloom Precision

From that list I would go Wilson just because that's what I have experience with.  I doubt you can go wrong with any of those choices though.

I would consider full custom if you can wait a little.

Of the ones you listed you will enjoy them all. Just pick the one you like the best.
