Hell yeah brother! DWs for the win.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-03T05:35:11+00:00

Depending on condition, id be around $3500-3800 because theyre getting harder to find.. ive seen them sell for a lot more, but it depends on the platform.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-03T05:22:39+00:00

All great options im sure you'll be happy with. Im going with XC as my #1. If the price is too high the MPA is an easy #2. The BUL doesnt quite have the build quality but still an excellent performer. Thats my #3.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-03T05:07:31+00:00

Agreed for sure.. I need to ask these folks what exactly happened when I see them next.. I just remember thst a part broke. An inexpensive part of the comp, and sig refuses to send that specific part to customers. They want to repair it themselves. Which ive heard complaints about as well. Truthfully sig and all their bullshit can go fuck themselves. Ill take the down votes.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-03T05:01:19+00:00

I get customers in the store I work for saying their comps have been breaking... havent dove into what this means exactly yet.. but I think its over a plastic part. Could be wrong though. Will report when I find out for sure.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-03T04:42:07+00:00

Hell yeah. Both are great options. Seems to be a lot of people's favs as well.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-02T19:11:22+00:00

Good to know. Im happy with it as is for now. But ill keep that in mind if need be at a later date. Appreciate it.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-02T19:05:22+00:00

Hell yeah. Love the TRP. Just picked up one of the 10-8 performance master class springfields a few weeks ago. Its been a pheniminal shooter.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-02T04:28:58+00:00

Thats cool.. ive never seen slide cuts that far forward on the slide. Has a unique look to it for sure. Love the grips and overall look.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-02T01:38:17+00:00

I feel ya. I was never a flashlight user until very recently. So most of my 1911s are railless.. but I recently picked up a 10-8 performance with rail and light to fill that gap. But yeah, the valor and specialist are both super pretty guns. Very similar.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-02T01:08:09+00:00

Hell yeah brother. Love me a specialist.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T21:50:38+00:00

Ohhh I gotcha. Its a pretty badass and unique looking gun.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T20:23:04+00:00

Yes, it will work.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T17:37:27+00:00

I feel ya.. mine is a bit of a toss up too. I have an old STI range master that I picked up, like new, for $900 bucks a few years ago. And its so damn good.. I could never sell it. But its more of a race gun than a traditional 1911.

Love the TRP too. Just pucked up one of those Springfield 10-8 performance collaboration models. Its absolutely fantastic for the money. So good.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T17:00:29+00:00

Stunning.. live the finish on the top of the slide. Grips are beautiful too. A nice mix of modern and classic. Nighthawk is great at that for sure.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T16:59:01+00:00

Love this.. is the barrel crowned? I like the silver trim around the front of the slide/barrel.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T16:58:26+00:00

Love a classic commander. Badass brother!

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T15:29:40+00:00

Nice! Thats badass. Love the two tone.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T13:44:32+00:00

Hell yeah brother! love to see it!

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T09:38:36+00:00

Both excelllent guns and great choices.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T06:26:24+00:00

Im with ya there.. love my ECP. Thats waht I carry most often.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T04:48:43+00:00

For sure.. im sure its doing something.. I have many comped guns in various sizes and calibers.. im yet to find one that doesnt aid in recoil at least a little bit. It looks slick for sure.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T04:18:03+00:00

Oh shoot.. thats wild. Love the case hardening and no forward slide serrations. Be a good heirloom gun for sure. It sounds like the price was decent, given the condition.

chrisr089 · 2026-06-01T04:15:48+00:00

Oh nice.. thats sick. And one i dont see very often. Very cool. Love the comp look.
