I think that someday, I'd like to have a Wilson Combat, a Les Baer, and Nighthawk Custom as well. In no particular order. And also a Springfield Professional.
BTW, do you have a link to that site? I went to "gunslingers.com" and it was not what I was expecting it to be.  |
I've been reading on the 1911 forum and there seem to be a decent number of people poo pooing NHC. However the threads that talk about sending their pistol back to NHC seem to revolve around menial BS issues. I mean for that amount of coin i would want mine to be pristine as well, but they are sending them back because there are some brass markings on the slide from ejection. I'm trying to keep expectations down but i cant help but imagine how this is going to feel and handle. Hopefully it meets my expectations.
Here is the link.

George is a super nice guy. Spoke to him on the phone last night. I next day aired him the money but he was planning on shipping it either way!! Makes him cool in my book. I would buy from him again for sure.

I'll be able to judge my Sig 1911 against what should be a top shelf 1911 in the coming days. I have to get you some better feed back soon, but at this point i would not have a problem recommending it. I haven't had a failure to feed issues once it was broken in. After 300 rounds it's been solid. Also, i took the Glock 22 (.40cal) to the range along with the Sig 1911 the other day. Was actually giving my parents some pistol instruction. Both of them were shooting about 35" groups with the Glock 22. I gave them the Sig and both of them on their first mag with the Sig shot 5" groups at the same distance. I was amazed at that and decided to shoot the Glock 22 also. I put the same amount of rounds through each pistol but i shot the Sig at about double the speed and the group from the sig, with mag change, was a third of the size. I went 2 more mags with the sig at the same speed as the glock and dropped my group from about 12" (with the glock) to 3" (with the sig) at the same distance. As it turns out, i can achieve the same accuracy with the Glock, but i have to shoot very slow and concentrate much more.

Both of my ARs are colt variants. Both operate flawlessly and still look brand new. That Daniel Defense seems like a sweet rifle though!

I agree about doing your research. It seems there are plenty of options out there to choose from. I decided to stick with colt because i didn't have the patients to do the reading and testing. Plus i bought mine several years ago.
