A Porsche 911 GT3 isn't cheap, either, relegating it to the hands of the few. What's your point?
Anyhow, gotta go clean my Springfield Professional. You know how those finicky match-grade 1911s are...

The Coal Creek Armory custom 1911 I took to AFHF in 2010:

I did pretty good on walk-back drills in that class. I may be a mediocre shot, but a pistol that will shoot under an inch at 25 yards with a "glass rod" trigger that breaks under four pounds will make you look okay when all the really good shots around you are shooting striker-fired plastic duty guns.
Still and all, though, I'm toting an M&P9F these days, partly due to mag capacity issues and partly due to the fact that a "glass rod" trigger that breaks under four pounds is hard for me to manage while shooting on the move or on a press-out. If you could guarantee me that the bad guys would come at me one by one and would stand still while I was shooting at them, I'd probably still be packing a 1911...

This one was a touch over $3k :eek:

Another Wilson, a CQB-E 10mm/40S&W combo gun. I got this so I could shoot inexpensive ammo that would reliably work the 1911 platform (the 9 is a little light for a full size 5" gun).

Next to a Brown SF.
Tamara - NHCs have a lighter than I'd like trigger reset. I like a 5lb trigger pull on my carry 1911s and a good stiff thumb safety.

Sadly, I've recently sold the first two. The plane Jane CQB is currently the only 1911 I have.
Tam ... I grew a couple of miles away from Coal Creek Armory. Of course, it wasn't in existance then. I shot there over Christmas while we were back home visiting.
Here are my custom-spec'ed Nighthawk Talon II and SIGARMS GSR XO (which has been gone through and set up by the SIG Custom Shop). We also have a 1911A1 1945 Remington Rand.
Great guns, and I enjoy and admire a 1911, but I'll normally carry, compete and train with a Glock.
Best, Jon
