Does anyone else on the board not like 1911's?

That's funny, I was told they were WWII era guns, but I thought that was just talk. They definitely shot like trash.

The military dropped all contracts for 1911A1's at war's end. The only thing they didn't drop was contracts on parts.

okay...

Ya I thought it was funny and was like what the hell... I am completely indifferent I have never shot a 1911, just got a little bored.

I know its probably blasphemy to most on here and hope I dont get banned for saying it... but I do not enjoy shooting 1911's at all. I have fired everything from Taurus to SA to Kimber and I think they all feel clunky and uncomfortable(even though the last Kimber I handled was the tightest assembled gun I have ever held) and if I am out with a buddy who has one and he asks if I want to shoot it i'll say no because I honestly have no desire to shoot one.

Just kinda curious if anyone else feels the same or similar on the topic?

I love 1911s. i hope to find a stainless colt series 70 one day and send it to a custom shop to work over.

Interesting.

I've been trying to find a wide-spur hammer for a build...

Like an old mil-spec hammer? I know somebody was making new ones.

Yeah, but a wide spur one though, not a narrow one like what's on the new GI's.

Yeah I know what you are talking about. Have you looked at these? http://www.cylinder-slide.com/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=CS342
