I owned a brand new Model 80 by Colt. Piece of turd.
I own a Springfield 1911. Occasional smokestak, not sure if itès a mag problem, ammo or the gun itself.
I own a Para LDA .40. I've dared this damn thing to jam/smokestack or otherwise fluck up. NUTHIN' :D
 
My fav 1911's.......................

Colt..... pre series 70 government models and real deal USGI 1911's and 1911A-1's.... [and authorized WWII USGI clones.... US&S, Rem-Rand, Ithaca]............. :cool:
 
I only own two 1911's. A Para SSP and a slightly customized Colt SS Series 80 Mk IV. Out of the two I own I'd have say Colt. It may rattle more than the Para but she's built like a tank and equally accurate and reliable. An uber production 1911 is on my wishlist and I'm teetering between a Nighthawk Custom, Wilson or Ed Brown.....so many choices, so little cash. :redface:
 
over the years, have had colt series 70's (least favourite - late 70's manufacture year - never forgave colt for that piece of sh*t), but the ones that were great include springfield 1911, smith 1911 stainless, and a couple of raceguns built on caspian frames, but my favourite is the valtro, paid $1300 used from p&d a couple of years ago, picked out and recommended by Chris there, can't thank him enough.

Agreed 100% ;) although I also like the Series 70 guns.

Yeah, they'll do in a pinch.... :p

I gotta add the Springfield mil-spec 1911A-1's, too. The stainless one is purdy! :cool:

And I'll even go the latest generation Norc 1911A-1's and especially the compact [commander] model..... I likes mine! :eek:
 
There is only 1.......................... COLT !!!

A favourite 1911 poll with no Colt option? :confused:

Love my Colt National Match.
Hope to own a Dan Wesson soon.
Favourite 1911 still comes from Hartford though. I think the new guns are very good and worth a look. The Colt slide to receiver fit is very much on purpose.
