Lately I've become enamored with the .38 Super. A little to loud and to much flash for concealed carry but hey, I'm a millionaire now so custom ear buds and sunglasses with night vision won't be a problem.

Same here, I bought a set of die, guy said a 380 auto. I thought 380 acp, but they are 38 auto/Super, sooooo I have dies figure I need a pistol to reload for it.

I'll go a different route. Since you didn't specify new,my choice would be the nicest Singer WWII vintage 45 I could find.

First choice would be a Stan Chen, except I'm not patient enough to wait several years.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Watch the drool if you look here.. Short of a full custom build, I would probably look at another Nighthawk, either their Trooper or their Thunder Ranch models. Very clean looking lines and my NH Falcon is probably my favorite pistol of any kind for just plain shooting.

Sevens · July 7, 2019, 08:15 PM

Heh, the Singer was a great answer!

hogwiley · July 7, 2019, 08:35 PM

If money was no issue and I could get any 1911, I would probably go for a Springfield Professional. in .45 acp. Has literally everything in a 1911 I would want and nothing I don't want(like front side serrations). It also has pretty close to an unsurpassed reputation for accuracy and reliability.

A close second would be an Ed Brown in .45 acp, probably their executive model since I prefer the front checkering. Like the professional, it has everything I would want and nothing I don't and is pretty close to the top when it comes to semi custom 1911's.

PatientWolf · July 8, 2019, 02:42 AM

+1 on the Singer.

cw308 · July 8, 2019, 06:32 AM

If my numbers paid off I would keep the 1911's I have and build a range . Rifle and Handgun all top shelf .

Brutus · July 8, 2019, 10:55 AM

Yeah but wouldn't you need a fancy 1911 for those 400 yard shot's on your new range?

cw308 · July 9, 2019, 01:00 PM

I Guess.

P5 Guy · July 9, 2019, 01:22 PM

Polymer framed, striker fired double stack one.

dogtown tom · July 9, 2019, 05:29 PM

It would work right out of the box.
It wouldn't be picky about ammo.
It would let me be my own gunsmith.
It would have less parts.
It wouldn't rust.
Magazines would be cheap.
It would cost $500 retail.

cslinger · July 9, 2019, 05:32 PM

......and apparently it would come with really crappy sights.

Hey, you can dream!

Make one that takes 21 mags while youre at it.

blchandl2 · July 9, 2019, 06:36 PM

While not a 1911 to the purists, a Coonan .357 Mag.

Brutus · July 9, 2019, 06:46 PM

I gotta admit that's some nice photo shopping, blasphemous and it makes me cringe but still a good job.

More has been built on less!

I wish Glock would do it. If for no other reason than to watch the ensuing melt down on the internet.

Joe_Pike · July 9, 2019, 10:40 PM

Well, heck , if we're dreaming I'd take something from Jason Burton. Probably a commander of some sort, and if I could only afford one it would be a .45 acp. Unfortunately, I just don't happen to have $7,000+ to drop on a firearm.

Wasnt heirloom precision ted yosts company originally?

I whole heartedly agree!

But, regardless of the meltdown, I would buy on, or 7, because it's a Glock!

Loose the hammer, strikers have no need for hammers.

Road_Clam · July 10, 2019, 12:20 PM

Im not a 1911 snob. I shoot lousy with my personal box stock $750 SA 9mm Range Officer, and i shoot the same exact level of lousyness with my buddy's $4100 Wilson Combat 1911. Admittidly the Wilson's action feels simply amazing as far as precision smoothness.

cslinger · July 10, 2019, 01:43 PM

Road Clam,
But you see you and I are ahead of the curve. We know our lousy shooting is not the gun. And knowing is half the battle.

Right there with you. I suck but dammit my suck is pure natural talent not driven by equipment.

...

I am platform agnostic. I can suck with pretty much anything.

P.S. that was just...incredible (and so WRONG on so MANY levels.)

laymenshooter · July 10, 2019, 05:24 PM

Let's see, winning the lottery.... I'd buy an old used Springfield or a para, maybe even a citidel and spent the rest on ammo and classes.
