40S&W Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Springfield loaded and Tripp Cobra mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester121 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I bought an SA Loaded Target as well as a Ruger SR1911 in November and have been shooting single stack all winter, I guarantee I wasn't in either for less than a thousand bucks after you factor in mag pouches, holster, magwell, 6-8 mags. I changed to a dawson FO front sight on both and will be ordered an adjustable rear for the Ruger. The Ruger actually feels better than the springfield when I shoot it, but I've very happy with both. No way I'd spend more on a custom/semi-custom first 1911, when you don't even know what you like/dislike about the breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFromHouston Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Facts or speculations? Speculation, of course. Here are some articles/threads. Nothing is 100%, but like I said, I would bet it's probably an STI, if not, at least a "custom" PT1911. I have a very hard time believing ANY top-level competitor uses a "stock," "off-the-shelf" gun. Even the M&P, Glock, etc. shooters. Gee Cody.... I guess you could say that ALL of my PT-1911 are "custom" then..... I have added F/O front sights all 5 of mine (9mm, 38 Super and 3 .45 ACP)..... Does "Big Daddy" use a "stock" Hemi block????????????? Your missing my point... For under 600.00 bucks you can get a 1911 with a SHIT load of up-grades....... To me... thats 400.00 bucks worth of ammo........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike's m&p Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 ray from houston. im from the NEW YORK thanks for the pm. I shot our match clean yesterday with a g19 in production class. i only had 30 rounds thru it before and was my first match in production came in 3rd. I've been shooting for awhile so I know its not always the gun its the man(woman) behind it. Just got done doing airsoft training with the guy that has the trojan fondle somemore. Question now is 9mm 40sw or 45. I already load 40 and starting to load 9mm. What a 1911 to be able to shoot another divison as my limited is gone per say and what ever other laws they try to sneak in. Is there any advantages or disadvantages between cartridges. Leaning more towards 40 or 9mm as cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 as cheaper to shoot. I will have the dies already for them. Just want to get the mags before were not allowed to on April 15.

sludwin Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 +1 for the sti trojan, have a few sti's and love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've narrowed it down sti trojan crp in .40 sw. As i already have reload equipment. Now next question going with tripp mags do i get 10mm or 40sw. as will be competition gun in 10rders. I thought I read some where you load the 40 long and use 10mm mags. Need some help or clairifaction on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Don't discount Dawson mags. Absolutely fantastic, I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawboy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have seen all makes and all manner of Frankengun 1911s do very well in Single Stack and CDP. Does not matter what gun you buy. Pick one, set it up like you prefer and make sure it runs. That is really all that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike's m&p Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 ordered mags today . going to order gun thrus thru dawson trojan .40sw crp. have a uspsa match sunday borrowing a fellow shooters 1911 to shoot. this will br first match with a single stack and a gun with a thumb safety. im a glock and revolver shooter so should be interesting. the triggers are nice and smooth, im use to alot heavier.

Racer377 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I just went through the same choices in just the last couple of weeks. I have an STI USPSA,Sentry,and Trojan. I also purchased a Range Officer. I have to say the gun I like best is the Range Officer,it doesn't have all the options the others have, but you can pick up the Range Officer for $750 to $850. WHy do you like the RO better than the Sentry or USPSA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmego Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 well i did it ordered the tojan crp .40sw they say should have by the end of february. now just have to aquire holster and mag pouches Go get a Bladetech DOH and some mag pouches to match and you will be set.

mikeg1005 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Go get a Bladetech DOH and some mag pouches to match and you will be set. The Trojan was a very wise choice. Drop off isn't legal in single stack. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester121 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The Bladetech DOH is legal if you un-DOH it, Just remove 6 screws, take out the DOH plastic piece, re-mount holster to mount with 3 screws, Loctite, done. I did mine last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike's m&p Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 shot today was a tough match. didnt have any problems with the ss remembered to take the safety off. my 15 old did good everything safe quite a few misses. learned alot as slow down shoot at your own pace. and trigger control squeeze dont yank. can't wait for the trojan to get here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Trigger control is very important on a 1911. Don't worry, you'll get used to it, and after you do...you'll wonder why you didn't switch earlier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
