The manufacturers that make 1911's "should" be making their own anniversary editions, IMHO, I hope they do, as the cost of these are going to be a premium. HOPEFULLY, I won't be *sniffing at the prices.

Or I'll just get the Remington R1, about as close to "original" as one can get.

Plus another 1911 in the family, is always a good thing.. ;D

Actually, Colt and Sprinfield are still making the GI 1911A1 complete with the sloppy fit, need for a dehorning and when you rack the slide, you'll start to bleed...just like the original! Same crumby sights too! I handled both the last time I went to Cabelas.

;D

I'll keep my PARA thanks!

Post by: bulldog75 on August 09, 2010, 02:22:33 PM: One of my troops bought a Taurus 1911 and after handling it I think it will be my next handgun purchase.

Post by: Dakotaranger on August 10, 2010, 02:15:46 AM: I've got a buddy that got the Taurus. It shoots great, but I'd want the night sites. I never had a problem with my Springer GI. All that being said I really, really like the feel of the Remington and the white dots are the size of basketballs. For a $700 gun that would be the way I'd go, throw on a set of Crimson trace and eventully change out the sights for a set of tritiums.
