Well made pistols. Gave one to my son for his 45th birthday. Use ONLY Mecgar magazines. They have a great 8 rounder.

Amazing to think that John Moses Browning visualized all this back in the day. No high speed cameras back then — he just pictured the action in his mind.
That said, I’ll bet he’d be bugged to see the shell casing bouncing off the slide rather than being thrown clear by the extractor.

Thanks for the feedback - I’m very close to actually making a decision on one. I’ve wanted one for awhile now.
Need to find out what good mags they take.
To: MHGinTN
And you answered my question about mags.
I really want one bad.
Thank you sir!

I just picked up an anti 1911 from Bud’s Guns for $350 delivered.

I highly recommend the GSG and Walther Gold Cup 1911-22 pistols. I also recommend running Aguila 60 grain ammo in it if a defensive gun. Of course, test the ammo for a couple hundred rounds to see if it feeds and leaves dependably. I’ve tuned all my 22lr guns to run that bullet and it makes a darn good no recoil home defensive ammo! Out of the five inch pistol barrels that bullet hits at around 120 foot pounds of energy and tumbles even with 11+ inches of penetration. My M&P15-22 eats it all day long ...

Novak sights are a must and those Philippine models are available that way for a very reasonable price ...

My bro bought a bunch of wilson combat mags if that helps...chip mccorimick are good too; I carried a Springfield Loaded on duty (private security, 17 yrs) for quite awhile until an ignorant OPS manager pushed us to Glocks...carried a G21SF ever since...after a few mods (Lone Wolf guide rod, 3.5 pound after market trigger and a Houge HandAll slip on grip..Glock fan now lol) I’m happy again

my favorite range gun is now a S&W 625 revolver. I understand why, as I love mine. I was lucky enough to buy a 625-5 shortly before Ron Power retired from smithing, and was blessed that a friend of mine was good enough to convince Ron to perform his magic on it.
The action is amazing, and I'll never sell it.

Considering that his M2 machine gun is still in use by the military after more than 75 years, it would be a fitting tribute.And I believe that the USMC Force Recon is now issuing cosmetically modified M1911 pistols, nearly 100 years after it was first adopted by the military.
