  • Wife New 1911

    Yes it is not a Kahr but what she wanted.
    Browning 1911-380 with High Figure Grips in Birds Eye Maple.
    She has not fired it yet but will do later this week.
    Also ordered an OWB Mernickle Custom Holster.

      That's a .380? Regardless, its a sweet looking 1911. I bet that'll be a nice, soft, shooter for sure.

        My brother bought one of those.....his favorite pistol. Very light shooter, and quite accurate. My old eyes had problems with the sights, but he has put some kind of "glow" strips on them like a glock, and I/he can see them better now.

          CharlieR if you could find out what he did I would appreciate it. I can see the problem with front sight being hard to find.

            Those grips are very nice.
            The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

              Looks more tiger maple or spalted maple than birdseye but it varies a lot and I agree they look spectacular.

                Even though it's not a Kahr, IMO, I don't think your wife made a bad choice. My wife shoots a SIG P228, 9mm double stack 13 round magazine with Hogue grips.

                  I'm not a huge fan of the whale tail on Colt .45 Auto's, but that is a pretty piece. I like the sights. They look simple and effective. Yes, I'm from the minimalist school, but I thats a fine lookin' shooter that I'd be proud to carry.

                    I'm not a fan of the whale tails either nor am I a fan of skeleton hammers and long triggers but it seems a lot of people are. Just about every 1911 on the market today except for a few exceptions comes so equipped. Maybe it's because I have small, thin hands and have never been bitten by the spur hammer.

                      I don't mind the look although I don't need the whale tail either, never been bit. Now my Hi Power is like a pit bull, it bites me on a regular basis.

                      I do for some reason like a long trigger though. Many high speed low drag types prefer the short trigger for their business guns, but have long triggers on their toys. I never could understand it but I know more than a couple that fall in that category.

                      Marshal, you running slim grips and bushings or standard? Might be able to help.

                            I saw a Browning 1911-380 in the local gun shop two days ago and it caught my attention. The entire pistol was noticeably smaller than a standard 1911.

                            Let us know how it shoots, what ammunition it likes and what it does not like.

                              She has put 100 rounds through it with no problems. 50 Lellier & Bellot, 50 Freedom Munitions reloads.

                              Plan on going some time next week again.
