Any 1911 owners out there?

.22 r much cheaper bullets also what brand r u looking for

 

I love my 1911.. I dont have a 22 but I know the ammo is the cheapest out there and they can be fun (mainly cause your not gonna go broke shooting it). I like guns that go BOOM when you pull the trigger, not a clap sound you get from a .22.. My first gun I got was an SKS, there cheap and fun and fairly cheap ammo.. If your mainly looking for a handgun, look into a 9mm maybe like a Springfield m 9mm. Not alot cheaper then a 1911 but the ammo is more affordable...
Good luck on your search

 

Should have spoke up sooner! I just traded one of my 1911s that I was looking to get rid of. It was a Sig Saur Tacops model.

 

I started reloading this year and can reload 45 for about half the price so if you are looking to shoot a lot you should look into that.

 

I don't think its a good idea to buy a 1911 for anything less than ~$750. The cheap brands are not worth it at all.

 

Try a p series ruger hand gun. I have a 9mm and love it and got it at a gun show new for 250.00. Well worth the money.

 

id go with a colt, kimberly, or les bear and they are out of dubuque

 

I have several Kimbers and I cannot speak highly enough. They are not the least expensive gun but for the money the qaulity cannot be matched. I shoot with many military men and women who rave about the accuracy and consistency. Kimbers also hold their value extremely well. They are like Harley Davidsons.

 

I have a Colt 45 and love it, but I like my P89 9mm better. For a newbie to hand guns they are very easy to get use to and easy to take apart and remember how to put them back together. That is a must when cleaning them. lol I was told by a law enforcement Officer that its is very popular hand gun in the force because they are reliable.


If I had the cash to blow I would buy a Beretta or a Glock.

 

If it were me, I would not get the cheapest thing I could find. The old phrase "you get what you pay for" applies ten-fold here. You'll never get the proper feel for a weapon of any kind by getting the cheapest thing available.

IMHO, you might as well flush the money spent on cheap products. At least then you have the potential enjoyment of watching it spin down the drain.

 

I have a Kimber 1911 in a 9 love it my fav hand gun I use it for tactical shoots and carry.
