Nice to see you here ... I want one of the new Ruger 1911 pistols, with the great night sights and three mags extra, but alas I cannot afford such a fine weapon so I own a Hi Point .45 ACP and a Norinco 1911. Both of my pistols mentioned hit the target when I fire them and go bang so long as there's ammo in the mag. But I sure would like one of those fancy new Stainless Ruger 1911s to try out and make comparisons. ;^)

I have a Colt Combat Commander in .45 and have had it for decades. I traded for a Springfield Armory once but traded it for a rifle since I didn’t need it. I don’t have any experience in the Ruger 1911 but am sure its a fine pistol. If I were buying today, I would look at the Springfield XD. It holds 13+1 in .45ACP. I haven’t owned an XD yet, but it just gives me a tingle up the leg ya know. My Commander is tricked out so I probably will hand that one down to my daughter when I go. Besides, if I bring home one more gun, momma’s leavin. She keeps askin “How many do you really need?” I haven’t come up with a solid number yet.
