1911s are a different breed that the striker action DAOs being talked about here.  The trigger pull is much shorter and lighter when cocked.  And the safety is much larger and easier to manipulate.

The hate is thread is unbelievable. So I feel someone with little training and knowledge of guns should not be carrying a 17 round, 3" barrel SA. The haters use a defense that it is his right, it makes him feel good, going to stop a terrorist attack and something to do about wine.

"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Any one with a little knowledge of WHY we carry guns should not care the least bit.. Its a God given right to be free and protect yourself..

I have a constitutional right to go vote, I dont care who you think I should vote for

If it makes him feel safer let him carry 17 rounds,  I dont understand where the protocol police come from.. let him mount a laser and a flashlight and a suppressor for all I care, he can make it glow in the dark, reflect off the sun, smell like roses and play U2 when he fires

Why do we need 4 gas stations at 1 intersection? because we can! Americahhhhhhhhhhh

Firearms are a sound investment if not bought in a bubble, all my guns went up in value and usually they can last 50-100 years

How does round count factor in to safety?

Using JJ's line of reasoning you can hurt a lot more innocent people with 17 rounds than 7.  :)

It is thought process one uses in picking out a weapon. If that process is flawed then safety is a concern.

Let me make you thing perfectly clear. The OP has every right to purchase any gun he wants. I just hope he becomes extremely familiar with the gun and takes some courses before he decides to carry.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Lol, I love how that's an arsenal NYC. Sounds more like a small birthday present in FL to add to the collection.

Can someone please explain why anyone would want a revolver instead of a normal semi automatic?
Looks like you have to manually load etc.

If you need 17 shots like some here you will have to reload.  :)
Revolvers have always been more dependable than a SA. What good is 17 shots when it jams on the first shot? Also for the average gun owning American that doesn't take care of their guns a revolver would be a better choice. With all the advances over the years it is debatable if revolvers are still considered more reliable. I will leave that debate to the experts here before I am called more names.  ;)

The revolver I use is a hybrid, it can shoot pellets & real bullets. When shooting for fun pellets save you money. I dont carry, but maybe if someone likes how it feels...

The mechanics are definitely simpler and therefore have less things in it to get jammed. But even a simple mugging most people will need more than six shots, unless its just a deterrent.

I have a speedloader for my Colt Python.  Although it's not my daily carry, it's a great, reliable gun to own and shoot.  I've won centerfire competitions with it.
