MisterPlink Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Is there any disadvantage using a railed 1911 in Single Stack or IPSC Classic? In my neck of the woods, there seems to be a plethora of railed 1911s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmann Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I couldn’t understand there being one. Only reason to have one in my opinion is for lights for night matches or lights for edc.....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I like to have rails on my 1911s so they can 2nd as a nightstand gun if needed. On single stacks they add some weight as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Weight limit especially in a 9mm Holsters can be hard to find that are good for uspsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDee Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I used to have an STI Duty One. It was heavy and had a half rail. Had to go to GI guide rod, plastic grips and mags with plastic bases to barely make weight. Bladetech evolution holster worked well for it. The rail does add some weight which some say improves recoil management. I didn't notice it much with 167PF loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) My understanding is weight is the biggest issue and I don't see any advantage to having the rail. Not going to put weights or lights on it if it is just for competition. Edited February 13, 2019 by Edge40 mis spoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 There are people that need a rail for their work. Personally I think they are fugly and detract for the iconic gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsantini Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have most of my 1911's without the rail. I don't think I fee any real difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I think the rails are ugly, can see the use for one in a few cases, but I would not have one personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Interesting video, however it says max range of 30 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 yes ~30 miles for 1940 it's good range in 1992 Sadam H.army used new rail gun (in pic.) designed by Gerald Bull with 500-600 miles range. that was destroyed by US army after first shot.
