1911 dilemma

A local gun store is offering 50 offering 50% off Springfield and Wilson Combat. Do I go TRP or a lower end WC. I have a DW CCO and want a larger 1911 either in 9 or 45.

Between those two I'd go with the Wilson but honestly either are good to go.

Springfield haven't had a single issue with the one I have.

Uhm Wilson please.

For ME:
DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9
Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

In this scenario, more value in getting 50% off the Wilson. Since it's your money and I like you I wouldn't want to skimp on you, only the best for you my friend. You're welcome.

that's a hell of a deal. Buy one of each.

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

Holy crap!! At 50% off, I'd get two Wilsons....then wait and flip one (maybe) for close to retail and you basically have a Wilson for free.

I find it hard to believe that a Wilson Combat 1911 would sell new for 50% off. That's just insane. Basically a CQB for 1500 bucks. Wow.

I know. Ad says WC and Springfield in stock 50% off. Shop is in Naples FL. Should be fun.

Probably like the car dealers, where there is only one available at that price.

NICE! I vote one of each!

I have a TRP, and a WC Classic. The TRP is a very nice 1911, but it is no WC. Get the WC!!!

I visited that place when I was in Naples over the summer. Nice place with a lot of inventory. Price were alright (not amazing by any stretch). Their blade inventory was disappointing for such a nice store.

Loved the Colt Gatling gun they had on display.
