I'm going to talk to my training guru and see what he can tell me...they have layaway there! I'd love one of those revolvers....might be a little much of a handful for me....Not yet. You might ask whether Jim’s can help make that happen for you.

Ah, that is not unusual due to their design. Bummer. A 1911 will be easier to rack. As for 45's I have a itch for a S&W 625 in 45. But it's about $1k, and I'd want different grips as well. So, saving my pennies and buying my time. But a big, heavy revolver that shoots 45 is cool to me.

Wow!
How's this for a big and heavy revolver that shoots .45 ACP? S&W M1937 made for Brazil. Essentially the same as the WW1 era M1917 revolver.
Got a 45 or few. Here is my desk gun (next to my kitchen). It all steel and weights a bunch but help when pulling the trigger.
The 9mm 1911 is really a good gun too.

That's what we all say.I think I have too much ADD to be messing with explosive substances...lol. I have zero interest in reloading.
You're so nice, and if I ever head to the beach again, I'll give you a heads up!Millie If you get to the outer banks I will let you shoot my 1911 in 22tcm it will make you smile !!!!!!!! you can also try my 1911s in 9mm, 38 super, 40 S&W 10mm and 45 acp
how did you get that out of my holster without me noticing? its what I carry
Mine has a lot of holster wear but its a honest working gun and the Hogue grips are greatvaskeet, I really love that gun. I did have Dawson titanium sights added. When I did that, I asked the smith about a trigger job and his comment was that he really could not do any better that the factory trigger. Mine breaks between 3 and 3.5 pounds,
Nice one...and a .22 is the third on the list of guns I plan to get! You might have solved that one for me.If you really like the 1911 platform (more than you like the .45 round), you need one of these:

And you can shoot it a lot for very little cash.
And then once you decide you really like the 1911 platform...you can add a .45 to the mix.
And just so you’ll be aware if you start searching around, there’s a Sig version of the 1911-22 that’s the same gun, at a higher price point. But it’s good to know that in case you find magazines or other parts that mention the Sig variant.Nice one...and a .22 is the third on the list of guns I plan to get! You might have solved that one for me.
Except for the fact the grip is so overly large it fits about 25% of the shooting world properly. I like the platform but it simply does not work for most people.
...11 to 15 June 1913. Americans of the 8th Infantry and the Philippine Scouts, personally lead by Brigadier General John J. Pershing...The U.S. Army .45-caliber pistol was developed to meet the need for a weapon with enough striking power...
Was that the one with the suppressor on it? If so....me likey! Lol.I believe Millie tried my GSG 1911 .22 when I visited the range with her in Fayetteville.
Those are soooo nice!Here are my 3. Trying to add a commander to the mix.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!Got a commander. Pics will come after the Christmas party.
Adding the Sig to the research list.....lol.I have a 1911 Ruger and a 1911 Springfield Armory A1.
Both great guns.
However, recently I got a Sig P220. A .45 acp that is DA/SA with a hammer drop button.
It's my main one now. I can even carry it concealed. I have 2-10 mags for it. Yessir!
Thanks...A decocker.Allows you to safely drop the hammer without risk of it going off should you do it manually and drop it too fast.
Adding the Sig to the research list.....lol.
And what is a hammer drop button? Another new term for me! Another thing to learn....
Thanks. That might be one too many buttons to keep track of (for me), not to mention, I'm too poor to get one of these, but it looks very nice! Still interested in shooting one, though!He's referring to a Decocking Lever which issued to lower the hammer on a pistol. On Sigs it's that lever to the left of the slide stop and above the mag release.

Not to mention they're much easier to disassembleOperation of a classic P series Sig is easier than a 1911 or your P238. Basically you chamber a round and lower the hammer via the decocker vs thumbing a safety up, ala 1911.
When you fire the gun you simply pull the trigger. No buttons or safeties to disengage. You have a long DA, double action pull, followed by short crisp SA, single action follow up shots.
Not to mention they're much easier to disassemble
Agreed, neither are difficult, but the Sig design is very straightforward and minimal effort to disassemble.1911s are not too bad after you get the hang of it but I agree initially P Series Sigs are easier. I cut my teeth shooting a Sig p228. Still one of my favorite 9mms.
