Polymer 1911 hybrid? Would you?

[Trinimon]

Looks pretty cool.

ATI's FX-H Hybrid is a 1911 style semi-auto pistol with a polymer frame.

The frame consists of two metal inserts at the main stress points yet maintaining a lightweight frame.

Match grade 5" stainless steel barrel.
Interchangeable with Glock sights.
Removable slide plate accepts micro RD optical sights.
Accepts all milspec 1911 parts.
Total weight of the pistol is 1.6lbs.
Currently available in 45ACP but other calibers to follow shortly.

trigger guard looks a little dopey, otherwise, looks neat

Interesting

 

[Trinimon]

I would, I'm just crazy about the finger grooves on the front strap.

 

[madcow]

Groves look slippery, like Hogue grips. If it was checkered like Stis, I'd consider one

 

[speedjunkiesracing]

I will try one in 9mm when they come out.

All about the feel in my hand. I like a heavy gun and the poly ones just don't seem to have what it takes.
On the other hand if we were allowed to carry something like that would be way better than an all metal 1911.

Thats why i liked the sti/svi frames. Too bad they dont make single stacks

 

[silverfoxdj]

Hmm worth a look IMHO shooting will tell

 

[superted]

Looks like the ghost of the old Chip McCormick or STI polymer frame double wides ...

Sure......id give it a try.....anyone know the price point?

Yeah but the STI/SVI have a hybrid frame though. Just the grip part is polymer.

Nope. 1911 should be steel and hefty. Polymer isn't limited to that shape, so what's the advantage?

Nope. 1911 should be steel and hefty.

Agreed

'Cc' perhaps I my fantasy world....lol

 

[Juster]

I would love to shoot one alongside the original.

^ I'd 'akimbo' it with my G21, see which lifts off POA more. I dislike the front strap, the light rail, and the wonky triggerguard...but that's not to say I wouldn't smile after shooting it, it's a .45acp afterall.

 

[OldFrankHog]

No I would not. Plenty of plastic guns out there in a better form factor then 1911.

 

[calvados.boulard]

I would like to see how it feels in the hand, but in general I'm more fond of steel.

Thanks,
Cal.

Not for me. I don't really like plastic, as for me they are too light, and I have never considered the 1911 to be particularly heavy. Both my CZ TS and Pardini are heavier. If I were to go plastic it would be a more modern style of gun.
