What reasonable gun do you want, but haven't pulled the trigger on?

[mm54943]

There’s a used 45acp Dan Wesson Silverback 1911 that caught my eye at a local shop.

A little higher than my normal range of “reasonable” but it’s a good price for it.

In my experience with Dan Wesson, you won't be disappointed.

It’s $1099 used and in excellent condition. A bit higher than what I normally would spend on a firearm.

But I really do want at least one premium 1911 for my collection (e.g. Dan Wesson, Colt, Les Baer).

Imho skip the Les Baer and Colt and get the DW

My MT husband is 6' 1" tall - muscular for his age (He WALKS and he works out for his UPPER BODY STRENGTH.) and several years ago he started to wear suspenders with his leather belt. He wears jeans and he USED to wear some cargo type of pants too. He does have a tummy on him.

My husband and I are in our 70's too.

He used to carry MUCH HEAVIER HANDGUNS concealed or open carry depending on what he was doing and where he was going.

So with a LEATHERMAN or SAK multi tool kit ALWAYS on his leather belt AND a knife in his pocket - adding a 357Magnum or a 45acp pistol (Sometimes a 45Long Colt or a 454Casull - open carry.) - he carried a LOT of weight on his body when it came to VERY specific handguns.

Thanks.

Don't worry about being labeled a nut case, that just means you're ready. The same woketards that would call you a nut case are the same ones that, when the shit hits the fan, will be demanding you protect them and give them your food and water. Those of us on this forum will be the lords and knights of our realms.

I don't live in an urban environment. But crap spills over everywhere. Have reloaded ammo since I was a young boy, hunted with the men (dad and his WWII buddies) from the time I was 12. We are not newcomers here. Life is certainly not the same today as then. Best to you and your family. Merry Christmas.

As a Colt 1911 owner, I’d go with the DW.

Sig P228 but mainly because it's hard to find one for sale locally. I'm even considering a M11-A1 since they're somewhat more common.

Shit, my bad. Link didn’t open up to the specific gun.

Here’s what I was referring to. M11A1 with a factory threaded barrel for $748. Comes out to $810 shipped.

I gave in. Probably the last time I’ll find a DW for that price in this good condition. Probably will have to refrain from buying anything else for a bit.

Looks like a great gun! I am jealous. I have been wanting to try the DWX out.

Do yourself a favor, get Wilson Combat mags. DW mags as a whole are crap. I bought my VBOB and neither one of the DW mags would function. Put a WC in and enjoyment and happiness follows.

Thanks, I was kind of wondering about that. If the quality of their magazines compared to the quality of the pistol itself.

Question about the CZ 75B, I seem to remember the one I had back in the 90's had a 15 round staggered mag. All the new ones I'm seeing have a 10 round mag. Am I remembering that correctly? If so, will the new ones take high capacity mags?

Shouldn't have a problem with hi-cap mags unless it is the old pre-B CZ75. They have their own proprietary mag that's nearly impossible to find.

Full size CZ 75 has 10, 15,17and 19round mags available for 9mm. Or something like that

Well after all the talk about the CZ I pulled the trigger on a Taurus PT92. Found one on Gun Broker for a price I couldn't pass up on.

Do it. I got on the Grendel bandwagon a long time ago. Won an upper in a TGT meetup a long time ago (hmm, early Hicksville - definitely 10+ years ago). Built an AR, loved it so much, got a bolt Howa mini action on it. It's, to me, a fantastic cartridge. I like shooting long range and it delivers there. It's got enough ummph to take down most animals. Recoil is nothing.

Thanks for the reply!

Forgive my preposition at the end of a sentence - "on which you haven't pulled a trigger" just doesn't seem normal. I keep looking at the "What gun did you buy today?" thread. For me, I'm thinking about getting a S&W 617 4". I keep looking at the guns on https://theshooterscorner.com/benchrest-rifles/. That place will really f'k me up. Kimber of Oregon - pretty much anything. CZ 453 with a set trigger, 1860 Army black powder revolver, H&K P7, SIG P210, P365 XL, 20 gauge Belgian A5....

I haven't bought a gun in a while, but the itch is growing. What are y'all craving? Exclude stuff like Korth revolvers (probably my P7)

I like your taste

Peoples keep talkin and the 6.5 Grendel slowly keeps crawling towards my interest radar. Dammit peoples!! Just keep talkin.
