I need another 1911 like I need a hole in the head! Someone said that in one of the 1911 posts on here last week. I feel like that too now. I went into my local LGS today because I was in the area. They have had a used 1911 Remington R1 enhanced for about a week and a half. It was priced at 600. I looked it over when I first saw it and it looked like it had never been shot but the right guy was not in that day so I couldn't get a story. Today, the right guy was in and I found out that a guy bought it new on a Tuesday with out his wife's permission (must have been a young guy or on his first marriage). He brought it back the next day. I broke it down today, and it sure as hell looked new. I left with it for 500. Damn nice for that! This makes Remington 1911 number 4 for me. So far, I am not disappointed with them, they are really outstanding for the money spent!

I inherited it when my father passed away. He bought it from a man who bought it in 1919 when he was done with his military service.

low8optionNever have enough 1911s. I have around 30 of them plus a few Hi Powers and still on the lookout for a good buy. (Yeah, I've got a great wife too).

.38supersigYep, Last trip to the range was with a 1911 and a Glock. Heck, I think all of them had a 1911 and a Glock.

WarhorseCongrats! Nice pickup.
I no longer "need" new guns, but the "want" is still there.

I can certainly relate. Love my wife and my 1911's. Was looking at more 1911's at the gun show today.
If I want it... I need it !

Phelen_KellCongrats! I'm looking into another one in .45.
My only 1911 is the combo 22TCM/9mm one.
I'm looking for a single stack in .45 now.

hileI need a first 1911. Call me crazy, but I'm leaning toward Wilson. Damn you guys for making me look again. I'm *REALLY* liking the Black/Grey combination.

hile@Cookster: Same reason my first SIG was a Legion. (actually it's because Blindref talked me into it LOL) I've wanted a CQB for a long time. And a HK Mark 23. I think that's most of my desire as far as .45s go.
