my narrow-minded suggestion if I was in your shoes with $800-$1000 to spend:    :D     CZ 97BD   but i am biased to CZ

pros of 1911: very popular which means accessories are plentiful, many variants and makers to choose from, many dependable models in your price range, magazines are plentiful

cons of 1911: very popular, varying reliability across different makes and models and brands, everyone has one which can be boooooring (can of worms: opened)  :D, i don't like the famous 1911 safety mechanism (and this too)

pros of cz97: its pretty AF, cz97b model has same safety mechanism as 1911, cz97bd model offers decocker function which I prefer  :D , it's right in your price range, world famous comfortable CZ grip, world famous CZ design and reliability,  its pretty AF, a smidgeon easier to breakdown, come on man just look at this thing!  :o :o :o

cons of cz97: its pretty AF, expensive magazines $45, not as popular in Hawaii as 1911s so its a rare sight, its pretty AF

CZECH it out!   :D :D :D

Congrats on ordering the SA 1911. Buy a bunch of magazines and ammo. If you are not already, consider becoming a NRA member. Enjoy and be safe.

First Sunday, second Saturday, and third Thursday of the month. The times are from 8.30 am to 1:00 pm on open days

Check out Valley Isle Sports Shooters website for specifically dates of the month. Saturday and Sunday open days are crazy busy.

You wouldn't happen to know any contractor type people who could bulldoze a small range in the middle of nowhere, would you?

Funny you mentioned that. Much of the work done at the Ukumehame Firing Range is all donated and volunteered work. Especially the range officers who does it for the love of the sport and the 2nd amendment. Right now, work is being done to raise the height of the berms. Thank God for good people keeping our range looking great.

They are that much?  The CZ mags for my CZ 75 are around $27-35, depending on where you buy and which version.  Funny that many times the 10 round neutered mags are more expensive.  I also have a bunch of Mecgar mags and they are quite a bit cheaper and work really well. 

And I love me some CZ guns.  Been wanting an P10c for a while. . .

Good job! Wait. Where is the ammo? I figure you would have a case of FMJ ammo pictured beside the new gun! Ha! Enjoy and be safe.

Not nearly enough.  You'll need at least 250 target rounds to do a minimum break-in, and another box of the same exact Hornady to make sure those feed without issues.

Some pistols are finicky about certain hollow points when cycling.  It's always a good idea to test self defense ammo.  Maybe test the first box, then get another of the same if all goes well.

Enjoy the pistol.   :thumbsup:

Check out the Walther PPQ 45. Good guns, similar to a clock with better ergonomics
