    I haven't had a 19:11 for a long time. I used to shoot them all the time in bullseye competition but I found myself without one.(a 1911)
    Soooo.... a pure GI 1911 would do. A fully loaded 1911 would be nice- you know,one with a flared maxwell, 30 lpi front and backstrap, ambi oversized saftey,skeltonized hammer and trigger, external extractor( heresy!),loaded chamber indicator, tac rail,forward serations,optic cut,threaded barrel,suppressor height nite sites,and...we'll that's about it.
    I chose a S&W Scandium frame 1911 out of their performance shop.Seems to be a notch above all the 9-1200$ Kimbers and springfields and "others*. Not up with the Wilson's a 20230304_190902.jpg nd Unobtainiums... but getting up on the ladder a bit.
    Thought about shooting it, but thought "why?"... So I put it in the bottom of the safe(where most 1911-s live) and went and shot my trusted G-19...
    Go figure

    While I LOVE the S&W 1911s, I couldn’t agree with you more. 1911s need to be a paperweight or the bottom of the gun safe. Cool for the nostalgic value and fun to shoot on the range. I’m not a Glock fanboy either but suffice it to say that I like Tactical Tupperware instead, with no external safeties……

    Well, opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one and some can't wait to show you theirs. It's OK to be wrong like you are right now just as long as you understand that you're wrong.
