[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 918205, member: 229"] I say get a metal-framed gun, but don't necessarily get a 1911. If you're seriously going to get a 1911 to carry, then shoot a bunch of rounds through it before you decide to start carrying it (and no matter what the brand, I'd have a smith go through it and give it the ole' reliability treatment - but that's just me). I loved my 1911, but the damn thing cost me way too much to shoot it - I loved shooting it, but with me not being a reloader, I just couldn't hang with the cost of .45 ACP ammo. I plan on getting another one, but I'm convinced that they make much more fun "lightened trigger" target shooters than carry guns in my opinion (not knocking anyone who carries one or relies on one for duty). I'd stick with the afore mentioned CZ P-01 (or go full-on and get an SP-01). [B]ldp4570[/B] needs to stop posting pics of his Hi-Power before I get to the point where I just can't fight the urge anymore and go out and get one for myself - those are beautiful guns man (nice Sig too!). Other options are the Sig P228 (get an old German gun and you've got some fine craftsmanship there) or even a modern-day 229 or 226. I've come to figure out that even though I love my plastic guns, I actually end up liking my metal-framed guns more these days. [/QUOTE]
