The 1911 is a great pistol, but you have to constantly practice with the thing to be able to hit anything.
For a good personal defense pistol - I’d go with a Sig.
Thanks for the suggestion. What are the 1911 difficulties?
Disagree, the 1911 is much easier than most pistols to hit with because it has a good trigger.
The only fly on the 1911 is that basic maintenance is more involved than more recent designs. Not to the point of being genuinely difficult, just more complicated.
I agree with you on that. SIG sells a pretty cheap SIGpro. It costs about $500 which is pretty cheap for SIG but it has the durability and accuracy of SIG. I love my SIG. The recoil isn’t bad and I prefer it to berettas. The SIGpro is a little big for conceal carry for most people. I havent really found many handguns that the recoil bothers me but I’ve been shooting since I was 9.
