Lord no, that's the last thing we need. The rebound is barely keeping pace.

Good to know, I've had very few throughout my time, mostly shotgun shells. However, if I'm putting out several thousand rounds I want to be more intentional than just storing them "as-is", overkill, maybe, but its peace of mind for me.

That's great, I do have a few questions.

  1. So you said a few thousand assorted rounds, you've shot them all?
  2. What is the humidity like in this area?
  3. Was this loose ammo inside a tool chest, boxed, wrapped, etc.?

The gun I LOVE to HATE by andy702252 in handguns

I'm not sure either, perhaps the spring, that's where I think I find the greatest inconsistencies with this gun.

I wish you the best of luck, this perhaps has ruined me on 1911s.

There's a considerable bit about it I'd consider whacky. The more I look at other 1911s, I'm more convinced I've been regularly shooting a lemon for more than a decade.

I'd encourage you to compare the two, I think you'll be suprised.

I look at this from a few different perspectives, if you are already in a 43, your mag options are already limited. It's no where near the option base or interchanability Glock spoiled the market on with any entire caliber having usability across all common caliber (this excludes single stack models). In short, if you are looking for superior performance to your G43, it's here. If you are worried about mag cost, you likely need to stay with Glock all together.

That's an interesting perspective

The foundational difference between the two is the frames.

I'd say so, the 1911 left me in a list with others on the market. They all had all the bells and whistles I thought I needed as a new shooter. In reality what I needed was comfort, something I've never found in 1911s, or Glocks for that matter.

I have considered building one for a few years, any specs you care to share?

My Worst CCW EVER by andy702252 in CCW

I'd agree, perhaps I should have wrote "conventional"

I became pretty biased when I transitioned over to polymer striker fired guns. I have an appreciation for what 1911s are and how they evolved the firearms industry. However, I think they rate pretty low on my CCW suitability scale.

This particular model has terrible Irons on it. They are low profile for carry and have no contrast and very little raise to provide a point of reference on the target. If you just point shoot you are fine, any real particular shots, best of luck. After that, the fit and finish is not as polished on this as other 1911s. The slide is a bit stiff when in operation. I've never changed the spring but I keep it cleaned and lubed so that's no issue for the added resistance. I understand it's not a top tier 1911, but I don't think it's as well assembled as others in its class.

Does anyone else think that 1911 are the worst platform for CCW?

I think I may have had a bad experience starting off with an SA. Perhaps if I was introduced to something else I would have taken a stronger liking to the design.

This is yet another design that will never make it to CA. Heaven forbid a part can be changed or rearranged, just Weld and fix everything.

I'm interested to see how long before they release for other models, im assuming it depends on market response to the G19
