AZ1911

Yep, I bought a XC for this reason. It will be my go to IDPA gun for now.

I really like my P322. It has been 100% reliable with Federal Automatch but with Winchester M-22 I couldn't make it through a mag without a FTF. I did just pick up a FN 502 this week. Man, that thing is great. The 322 feels like a cheap plastic toy compared to the 502.

I have had two DW 9mm 1911s. My first one had a few issues and went back to DW. 2 weeks later I had it back and it ran perfect since. My second is a PM9 and it has been flawless.

I don't see anywhere that you can't have both.

This is exactly what I have been trying to do. I can get the dot to stay still but it wastes way to much time. Learning to get it in the A zone and just going with it works!

MG08, glad you are getting some of the issues worked out. I just gotta say, that is one heck of a reloading room!

I am running a DW PM9 now as well. 10 round Dawson mags and a Dawson Ice magwell. Great setup, if you like 1911s. Since I run a .45acp Les Baer 1911 in CDP the PM9 was a logical choice for me.

So what did you end up with?

They look great!

Another vote for VZ Recon here.

No doubt. That pistol has to be a slippery sucker in the Georgia humidity.

I keep getting local people asking me to sell them primers or ammo from my stash. I politely decline. Sometimes being prepared is hard....

Thanks for the reply guys. I will just buy p09/p10 mags with the basepads.

I have a A01 LD coming this week. What are most of you doing for mags? Ordering them with the baseplates from CZC, just going with regular 09 mags, or switching the grips for the grip panels and 75 mags? I currently have ZERO CZ mags so it really doesn't matter to me which way I go. Just wondering if there was a preferred way. Thanks

I would have no reservations about a quality aluminum framed 1911 for carry. I shoot steel framed 1911s for single stack but I carry and shoot aluminum framed 1911s A LOT.
