Decision Time..

help me make up my mind....

LOL, Just looks like your personal preference here. They all look nice. To bad you can't purchase all of them!

That's like posting up a Mercedes, a Range Rover and a Sequoia.

What's the gun going to be for?

BTW, I don't think I'd include the Crimson Carry in the choices with a Raptor and a Covert. First and foremost, I don't want a gun with a laser sight companies name on the side of the slide and plastic CT grips.

If it's for carry, and you're gonna carry a 5" 1911, I'd be looking only at the SS Raptor simply from a wear standpoint. Other than than, it's all about the bling. A Custom II will shoot just as well, which is likely a lot better than you or I can shoot, and for half the price.

I vote for the first one on top.

Well, I made my decision, and it is this one, Para-Ord SSP single stack, its coming to me for a heck of a deal, and still leaving me enough coin for some "extras".....After much thought I had decided on the stainless raptor, but couldnt bring myself to do it, this is going to be a carry gun, and I figure I would dang near lose my mind with the first scratch on the raptor... maybe tax time I will pick one up for the safe...

Good choice getting the stainless.I also have the SSP and it shoots great.

The Raptor is designed as a SD/Carry gun and SD/Carry guns get scratched so I don't see the problem. All of my guns have wear marks or scratches on them. It comes with the territory of using them.

I guess to me, with my financial situation right now,it is just too damn sexy to worry about, I will add one, just not right now...

That's a big CARRY gun. I think you'll get tired of trying to conceal it... I have attempted to conceal a P345, which is smaller & lighter than your choice and I'm having second thoughts about it for my primary carry.

 

[DirtyD]

The thought crossed my mind, and well, I am not exactly a "small" guy.... the 1911 shape and dimensions lend rather well to concealed carry. Also, like a my wife and her shoes, have a different "flavor" for different situations..... this will be my large caliber/frame carry and probably transition to my duty weapon when I am done in the military and move to the law enforcement side of the house..
