New full size pistol

[CJ]

Remind me to let you take mine for a spin one of these days. It's a joy to shoot.

Oh yeah? I didn't know you had a witness competition pistol. I've done quite a bit of work to my compact .45, it's a blast to shoot.

I would steer clear of the FN 5-7. While accurate, the ammo is hard to find and expensive when you do find it compared to .45, .40, or 9mm...

I was interested in them initially, but the 5.7 ended up being a clown shoe caliber. It really has no purpose in the big scheme of things.

Mine is exactly like the one posted, only it's a little dirtier.

Ok y'all have talked me in to being patient and socking more money back I'm gonna wait till I have about $2000 set back and get a true custom 1911

IMO if you don't already have a 1911, then that's the go to for "fun." I've shot polymer pistols since I started shooting, but the 1911 is a totally different gun.

I am completely ignorant of ballistics or accuracy, but the fun factor of the 1911 is up there, and FWIW I am more accurate with my 1911 than my Glock.

If you know that you want the best of the best, then by all means, save for a custom $2k pistol. If you're just looking to put holes in paper, shoot a few 1911's and pick one that feels good.

If you aren't dead set on a 1911 there are a lot of full size pistols out there that are very accurate and reliable. Nothing wrong with a 1911, but you can definitely blow your budget haha...

Springfield XDM's
FN FNP45 tactical
Beretta 92
Hk45, USP
Etc.

I agree with Jakeford. I'll also throw out there that Sig P226 and CZ75 are both fantastic alloy frame full size pistols.

Forgot about the Sig P226. Also an excellent choice.

Just purchased one of these the damn things is just tits on accurate right out of the box, come with one 15 rounder and two 14 rounders along with holster and dual mag holder.

Great gun!

I am not a HUGE fan of Sigs but I had a P220 Match Grade and it was robust well built pistol that could knock a knat of a dogs ass at 25yrds. Okay maybe if I could see that far and calculate for balistics but you get the point. I sold it to my dad and it is one of his favorite bullseye .45s.

another vote for an HK based pistol
but I'm all utility and no fun anyway
