Twisted in the top picture whats the handgun at the very bottom?

[twisted954]

that's just an old norinco 45 i bought years ago as a build up project that just never went anywhere...now days, you can just buy 1911's pretty much set up pretty well from the factory...but back in the day, the norinco was actually a solid piece to start a custom build from...but like i said...just never happened...oh well...lol

Post it!


I'll post pictures soon, it's a Cooper Arms model 21 with a Leupold VX-111 14x40 scope and a Harris Bi-pod. I have it dialed in to a 1" radius right now at 200 yards. I have to find a longer range now, lol.

This is gonna be my Prairie Dog murderer soon enough. :guns:

couple options for you with that 416 dream, btw...the mr223 is due out sometime this year which is the semi auto 416 straight from hk...or there is a company by the name of titan defense that is building 416 clone uppers and they are supposed to be really really good. Slap that upper on any old ar type lower and you have a pretty good clone that should be very reliable...they have done extensive testing...look up titan defense and check them out.

I am looking into getting a 1911. Do you guys have any suggestions? I am looking to spend probably around 650ish.

Here are some I have been looking at quick.

from what you have posted there...well I used to not care for taurus...but over the years they have gotten much much better...and my local shop has sold a lot of those guns...for the price, you get A LOT of options...i mean options that would put most 1911's well into the grand range so in my opinion, that's the best bang for your buck.

Springfield makes a good 1911, but their prices are in line with the rest of the higher end guns...for those taurus options you would have to pay a lot more...they 1911 you have listed here is a plain jane mil spec model...so it's really up to you. You are limited on your budget tho...1911's are not exactly the poor man's bargain gun...so in that price range, i would have to say, taurus would be the way to go.

I was also looking at the glock 21. Any thoughts on that?

[twisted954]

you need to go to a shop and hold them in your hand...typicaly 1911 guys dont like glocks...has to do with a lot of things...most of them relate to the feel of the grip unless you are looking at a glock 21sf (slim frame)...it has a slightly smaller sized grip because the grip size is a common complaint with shooters. The glock also sports lower bore axis which is really nice for follow up shots and perceived recoil. The good news is the glock is supremely reliable and a good all around gun...it is technically a dual action only striker fired gun and is fielded all over the planet...but many 1911's are as well...another option is always the XD...think of the xd as the gun that bridges the design gap between 1911's and glocks...good guns too
