Re: Held my first 1911 today
Understood.
If you have a look at a BHP (see my pictures). You will like it a lot.
And the good news is that for the newer ones, they are much less than 1100.
And if the BHP is still too much for your budget, the CZ75 is a clone and priced very reasonable.

Re: Held my first 1911 today
I'm afraid I don't get the uproar here. I simply responded to AEA's message by saying my CZ75 was DA/SA. When he responded, with the laughing emoticons, to what I thought was an important piece of info for a prospective buyer of a CZ75. I responded with some of my own lauging emoticons and (and to paraphrase) gave my opinion that if you are going to call the CZ75 a clone of the Hi-Power, then the Hi-Power could be considered a clone of the 1911 as they look so similar, and were designed by the same person. So fill me in on the last few comments, as I'm in the dark.AndyC wrote:You don't wanna go down the 1911 path.... it's a one-way trip.

I think Andy was responding to loadedlib by warning him not to get bit by the 1911 bug.
