Best pistol buy

I see no mention in this thread of the Ruger centerfires :confused:
Aside from the Norinco line they seem like the cheapest ($$) pistols around, I have no experience with them - are they any good?
 
To the original question, one has to take a hard look at the Tanfoglio 1911 in .45acp. Seems to me there is a lot of gun there for the money. For what you get a much better buy than a Norinco I think.

Take Care

I actually ordered my self a CZ SP01 from G&T Sports.
From what I hear it is a pretty good gun and I also like the looks of it. Will see when I get it.

Also ordered a TLR-2 light/laser, so it should be a cool one. Will post pics later.

My next question is where can I find CZ magazines that are still good quality but do not cost an arm and a leg.


Thanks

If you like a 1911 and what a good value, buy a norinco from Armco and have him prep it for you. You won't find a cheaper 1911 that is as realiable. $400-$450 last time I checked. While others will complain you should buy a fancy $1000+ pistol, these are hard to beat.

If I was to buy another 1911, to add to my collection, I'd buy a Kimber or another Para. I haven't been a fan of the plastic glock or sig, but it's what fit's your grip the best. I like my double stack para 16.40 better than my single stack .45's but shoot as many as you can and see what you like.

Everyone should own at least one 1911....

Good man.


Get a few boxes of american eagle 147gr fmj flat point while you wait. Both of the SP-01's I've owned love em. :D

You know what, while Ruger revolvers gain much respect on this board and their pistols are split on opinions, I actually like Rugers very much.

As we don't have CCW, it is a bit of a moot discussion, but I would probably go with a Ruger (89, 94, 345, whatever) in decocker models for the fact that it is cheap, reliable, and essentially a good working tool that you don't have to worry about too much having it tug along in a IWB holster or whatever.

I find Rugers quite easy to aim at first pick up.

Norincos are great for the money, but essentially they(well generally the 1911s) end up being starter blocks for projects.
