ok ive been shoting my whole life but mostly rifles.well my buddy want me to go shot comps. with him and the only pistols ive ever owned are 22s so now im looking for a pistol and im thinking 1911 just becuse thay look good have a tun of options for custimization and are reliable.he seems to think i should git a glock and i have to say ive shot several of them and havent liked what ive seen.just dont like the fact that its dao and the triger pull feels like s@#ti think its from years of revolvers and simi-auto 22s.a gun just dont feel right to me unless it has a hammer.any thoughts?any brand i should look at first?

well u have kimber, springfield, para, colt, taurus, and a few others that i dont know to well.. i myself own prefer springfields to the others but thats just me, i have the springfield champion(4" model) its not my favorite gun but it is a pretty slick running gun... i know people who swear by the kimbers, and others who wont buy anything but colt. para is pretty reliable, and from what i hear the taurus is affordable, dependable, and accurate...

Its also helpful to rent them both, shoot them, then make up your mind.

It all depends on how much money you are willing to part with. There are some really good deals on some decent guns. You just have to look and do a little research and leg work.
When all is said and done, buy the best you can afford and still be able to afford to shoot it.

Good Luck... 8)

Like TAB said, go with your gut.  I like the Colt 1911s, but I am not familiar with the other ones.  Pretty sure they are good ones.  Shot a SIG 220 (I think), ok but kind of boring.  Had Beretta 92s, very boring plus they were 9MM.  Have fun choosing.

Those that mention cost...


I just picked up a almost virgin  70s series colt for $450.   I've seen several colts( and some onther makes) in great shape for less then the cost of a new glock.   So cost is not really an issue.

Go to a indoor range and shoot a few guns, this way you get a feel for the right one for you

+1 on that, also SIZE does matter, full size, compact, sub- compact, do you want to carry it? Either brand makes big and smaller versions.

Glock is removed from holster and trigger pulled. 1911 is either cocked and locked, manually cocked, or racked. Your personal exp. will matter on what your comfortable with.

I think Hawkfish is lurking,...... ;) I own an M+P .40(similiar to a "G" pistol in features), and several 1911's. Each one has its own merits.
So,..... get both. ;D

Good Shooting, try as many as you can.
