Well problem is I have highly completive, this isn't my first run at it. having said that last 1911 style I shot was in early 90's. then about 2 years ago I got back in for a short time and due to work related issues I stopped, so all my experience is from single stacks and .45 .
I have been on the fence on what platform and which division to run in. I have zero time on a 2011 but could only think its just a slight difference from 1911.
Lee I have looked at the STI's and other high end 2011's but I am afraid that if I dump $$$ into a gun something will happen and ill be out of shooting again, my luck. I have done some research and talked with a good friend, Frank Proctor, who has ran RIA's like " a rented mule" as he puts it and they ran great for the $.
I think ill go the RIA 2011 route, I mean dang I just need another thing for my wife to gripe about hahahaha.
