I'm just as surprised no one has mentioned the .45ACP. 1911s are some of the best feeling guns I've ever had in my hands, although I don't own one atm (had two at some point in time), I do intend to own another some day.

I had the rods adjusted fine but I bought mine new in 04 and I sold it before they came out with their third revision on the mags. The first two versions sucked horribly. And so did all the aftermarket mags I had tried... That single gun, along with some of their ammunition has really turned me off to Remington and I refuse to even consider the brand anymore. I know plenty of people like them/have had no issies and trust their lives with them, but not me...

1911 is by far my favorite pistol... I have 3: 1 SS Para Ordinance p14 double stack mag, 1 SS Springer GI, and a GSG 1911-22. The 22 is amazing, function flawless til about 4-500 rounds when it gets super dirty(easy to hit that number in a afternoon). And is nothing $$ wise to shoot compared to the 45acp. Great for keeping sharp on the platform without going bankrupt or tearing through my ammo stockpile.

Few of my favorites... (And my wife's pink 32)
