But I'd recommend a "counter balance" weight while wearing it as it's kinda' heavy loaded up with a 14 rd. mag. and ya' end up walking in circles!

Great, now I gotta buy two of 'em, and a crossdraw holster. Plus twice the pieces parts to lose...

Overpriced. In my opinion.

Relatively new brand with not much history. There are other more proven brands in that price range.

Field strip and reassemble in a large ziplock bag. Bigger than 1 gal are available.

$900 Will get you a plenty nice operator level pistol.
Less money can also get you a nicer shooter.
It's a hundred year old design. Most manufacturers have figured it out. It don't need a pony.
Heh

So a Dan Wasson would be a better choice?

Still overpriced. S&W, Ruger, Springfield, Remington, Rock Island, all make the same gun for a better price point.

If you want to buy a name, by all means, get a DW or Kimber, etc.

@Byrd666 What you need is a bull barrel 1911. With the captive spring system, there are no flying pieces. Now you have me curious, so when I get back home, I’ll try to disassemble one using only one hand. I believe it can be done.

I'm drawn to the bling.

Exactly what I'm getting at. Most 1911s from any manufacturer will run as reliably as a revolver. We just hear about the very few exceptions that need some work to run well. Kinda like a Ford.
My Springfield isn't the most accurate 1911 I've owned, but it's 100% reliable in it's function.

Old complex design, cranky, but beautiful.

I don't want one.
