Sooo, 3 years then? 

 

my Springfield RO Operator  (now discontinued:   https://www.springfield-armory.com/1911-series-handguns/1911-range-officer-handguns/1911-range-officer-operator-45-acp-handgun/)  is half the price of my Loaded Operator
the RO Operator has run flawlessly for several years and several hundreds of rounds.  it has the basic parkerized finish, Novak style rear sight and FO front sight
a few upgrades on the Loaded Operator, but the RO Operator is great for a 1911 that you are going to shoot a lot, is affordable, and is dependable.  i would say it's a entry level to lower mid level 1911, and runs very well
at the time i got mine it was in the 600 dollar range, probably more now for a comparable Springfield

Sooo, 3 years then? 

 

3.7 years 

Been thinking about getting a Colt 1911 for the 5-inch barrel and .45 ACP ammo, for the express purpose of getting a backup weapon for hunting. How did the 1911 pistol get the nickname, Jam-o-Matic (at 56 sec in the video below)?



During live fire training at KHSC, I experienced a misfire in an unidentified .45 pistol. I wish I wrote down the name of weapon for future reference.

for a back up sidearm for hunting, I would suggest a revolver in at least 357magnum or 44magnum
revolvers are much more reliable, and a 357 or 44 hits a lot harder than 45acp
if my life depended on it against 4 legged animals that could maul me, I would definitely go magnum revolver

When I lived in WA State, I wanted a .357 S/A revolver and a lever action for our fishing trips in somewhat remote areas.  It was common to see some "interesting" wildlife.  I would take my .40 cal compact handgun (all I had at the time), but a buddy had a .44 revolver.  That same buddy would fly to AK for fishing trips in all sorts bear areas, and they had some close encounters. 

Looking for m45a1 as 1st draft choice. So local LGS, no dice. Vegas LGS too.

Checking gun broker. But idk how they work. Any tips? Or any other auction sites?

Also will call colt later to see if their custom shop can make 1.

Edit. Prime sports brining 1 in for me. 8-12week ETA. Fingers crossed.


The question is do i start to order accessories or wait till it comes in. Just to be sure.

Plan is:
At least 5 wilson combat 10rd mags
Safariland als/sls holster (probably 30 day lead time)
Surefire x300 (safari only makes for this light)
Oh and ammo, will have to start buying FMJ and HP.

Mags - Definitely, but look for sales.  They go on sale here and there.  I’ve bought from Brownells and others. 
Holster - Depends on the fit and range that can accommodate.  I think yes.  The 7TS holster I have for my 1911s fits a wide range. But you probably want the all fancy-schmancy high-speed kine, lidat. 
Light - Can always use for another gun, so go for it, but wait for sales.  I’ve seen sales down to around $210ish.

So, what did you order?
