I can't think of a better 1911 for the money than my Springfield TRP. It has all the mods that count and the performance is phenomenal. I have over 8000rds through my original TRP and the performance has been flawless with every type of ammo I have tried. I bought its twin as a backup about a year ago and have nearly 3000rds through it and again, flawless performance. I am, however, looking at the new 1911 from SIG. A good friend bought one when they first came available and he is now a sworn convert. This is from a guy that doesn't get jazzed about ANYTHING. I like the features offered by this pistol, especially the integral accessory rail and the lack of a guide rod. If you can get exceptional accuracy without the guide rod, it is a definite plus since takedown is simplified and overall complexity is reduced. I have one on order and will update you guys after I try it out.

As to the 1991 Colt, Kamatz heard right. This has got to be the biggest piece of sh-- ever produced. Everything that can go wrong with it will. Jams, broken extractors, sights falling off, crappy trigger, you name it! I hope the next guy that attacks me or my family is armed with one of these if he is armed at all. My wife gave me one for Christmas one year, and it is because of sentiment that I worked as hard as I did to make this gun work. It finally pissed me off so bad that I literally threw it into a stock tank!! NO, I'm NOT kidding (yes, I have a temper). DO NOT BUY ONE. Even a Llama is a better choice.

Abigail.

Abigail is the nicest 1911 custom pistol I ever saw.

I was actually present when Abigail came to life over at KT Ordnance last February. I was present whilst her frame rails were machined.

Abigail wears a host of Wilson and Ed Brown parts, but the best part is her STI bar-stock slide. STI's slides are flat on top and they are drop dead beautiful. ( Check them on on brownell's website. http://www.brownells.com. (part no. 791-201-045 )

Anyhow, the machine work on this pistol is downright exquisite. When you cock the pistol the slide feels like it travels on teflon coated ball bearings. And when you shake the pistol it does not rattle not even slightly. The whole pistol sounds and feels like a solid block of metal.

The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds and it gives a whole new meaning to the word, "crisp".

When it comes down to it, any 1911 made from quality parts and assembled by a really skilled machinist or gunsmith will be something special.

This pistol was lovingly hand made by an expert machinist and it shows.
