1911 with that Oh YA! feel

I get that feeling every time I pick up and fire any 1911? (.45acp of course) Some are nicer than others, the most noticeable being the trigger I find. A lot can be forgiven in the slide fit if the trigger is exceptional. YMMV.

I drink to this.

My $600 SAM Thunderbolt has the same smooth action bank vault buttery feel. All hand made, production line guns like SAM, Les Baer and others have the feel that only expert craftsman have.

The only difference in price in custom made 1911's is the quality of materials and accuracy guarantee. LB's are the best when it comes to lockup accuracy potential, something a $600 thunderbolt won't give you. But if you're not in it for the dead aim accuracy, getting that hand made 1911 feel is cheaper than lots of us think.

Sam Thunderbolt was my first 1911. What an amaxing entry level gun. The addiction begins.

I only have one 1911 and it's an Ed Brown as I figured if I was only to have one, get a good one. The feel, the fit, the overall workmanship is wonderful.

I like your thinking. I would much rather own one quality gun then 6 pieces of sh_t. I've yet to own an Ed Brown but I have lusted over them for quite a long time now. I especially like the looks of the Kobra carry.

+1! A Specialist or a Bruin would also be acceptable.

Seems to me, there's one in the EE right now for a really good price. (KC)
