The below pic is a Springfield Milspec which is representative of the current plain jane 1911s. Standard sights, spur hammer, standard grip safety, standard single sided thumb safety, short trigger and arched mainspring housing.
 Photo taken from gunbroker.com The Warrior has integrated light rail, Novak style low profile night sights, Commander style hammer, beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safety, long trigger, forward cocking serrations, beveled magazine well and a flat mainspring housing with lanyard.  Photo taken from gunbroker.com AS to Price I picked up my Warrior used LNIB off of Gunbroker for $850.  As to Magazines the original 1911 magazine is of a 7 round capacity design. Many manufacturers now make 8 and 10 round magazines. The Warrior as any other 1911 will accept these magazines. Check the FAQ at the top of the Forum. |

I am investing in my Springfield loaded I picked up for $450. Spending a little more and I'm gonna have a gun that looks as nice as it shoots.

First off, WELCOME to the 1911 Disease! It's just as addictive as the Black Rifle Disease...
-Forged Steel Frame & Slide -Light / Accessory Rail -Match Grade & Hand Fitted Frame, Slide, Barrel, Bushing & Chamber. Extended Ambi-Safety -High BTGS -Beveled Mag Well -Extended Mag Release -Extended Slide Release -Polished Breech Face Basically, it's a 'Factory Custom' 1911 with MANY refinements... Could you get a better 1911? Yes, but it'd cost you a LOT more money... Basically you're gonna have a nice, sweet shooting 1911, with a nice trigger with Overtravel stop, properly fitted, uses SOME MIM parts, but no biggie... The Government size 1911 (like the Warrior) comes 'standard' with a 7 Round Magazine. You COULD buy 'aftermarket' 1911 Mags from Wilson, CMcC, and others that are 8 Round mags (So you'd have 8 in the mag + 1 in the chamber instead of the standard 7 in the mag + 1 in the chamber)... The grips of Government size 1911s are standard. The 8rd ones just use mags with a different type of 'follower/spring' setup. The mags are the same size... The pricing will vary depending upon your area. I've seen a Kimber DESERT Warrior in a local gunshop for $975 with two mags, but it sold quickly. Personally, I'd say get it (price dependent, I don't know of prices in Texas)! That's one HECK of a SWEET 1911 to have for your first one! -inuhbad |

Thanks for the replies guys. I can see where this whole thing is going. Damn you 1911 disease! I'm about to buy the Warrior, but have already started planning on which ones to get next.  There is a Springfield in my future as well as another Kimber and a Colt. I guess I need to concentrate on the task at hand and stat amassing quality mags for my new obsession. |

You'll like them, or maybe you will.
I do as do most everyone I know that have shot mine or own their own. Extremely comfortable pistols. |
