Entry Level 1911

[DaveinOKC]

I think you'll enjoy your new pistol quite a bit.

Have to watch out those low bids that "will never win"...I'm the proud owner of a Wilson Combat 1911 that I figured I'd never win. Even with the low purchase price, that one still hurt .

Bad thing is there is full size Sig that I was interested in as well but couldn’t pass this one up.

Now to order some 8rd Wilson Mags and maybe a 10rd as well. Any recommendations as to which Wilsons to buy? Standard 47Ds? Or are some of the other Wilson mags the hot ticket now?

So I got a little carried away thinking my bid wouldn’t win it…but I just won a S&W 1911SC E-Series. How did I do?

Very nice!

I'm not into 1911s or 45 ACP, but if I was...

Wilson mags (47D) are the gold standard. Hard to beat.

Wilson or Tripp mags.

I'd get a RIA if it was me. I have owned a few of them over the years.

Considering purchasing a budget Commander Size 1911 to simply have a 1911 in the collection and to see if I like 1911s enough to invest in a higher end version.

what are the 1911 aficionados opinion of the Tisas imported by SDS? I was thinking specifically of these two odels.

SDS Imports 1911 Carry Pistol-45 ACP For Sale - AtlanticFirearms.com

or

Tisas B45R Semi-Automatic 1911 Pistol 4.25" Barrel .45ACP 8rd - Black Cerakote W/ Accessory Rail

I am also considering a not so budget friendly SA EMP Lighweight Champion. know not a true 1911 as it has been scaled down, but I like the look of them and the current generation seems to get good reviews.

Springfield Armory PI9211L 1911 EMP Champion 9mm Luger 4' 10+1 Black Hardcoat Anodized Stainless Steel Slide Crossed Cannon Cocobolo Grip

Or just keep looking for a SA Range Officer Champion in 9mm or .45. So many choices…

Your input is appreciated.

The Tisas imported by SDS is great for the money. I got the SS 1911 45acp one at Blue Collar Tactical at S. Western & 89th in OKC. I have videos about firearms & they are very good. . FirearmFreedom,
hickok45 & NRA Gun of the Week has done some really good video about gun.

Wilson 8 round ETM or the ETM HD/+P magazines and skip the polymer floor plates. 10 round magazines don’t have the reliability or longevity depending use. Slide lock reloads are harder on magazines.
