DE1911 is outstanding!

[warbird1]

Got my DE1911 off layaway and gave it a proper cleaning. Took it to the range Monday. Fired 100 rds of Independence, Blazer Brass and PMC and then 10 rounds of Winchester PDX1. The gun is flawless. Outstanding!!!
Best I can say is if you don't have one is......Gotta getcha one.

I've had mine for about 6 months and I agree 100%. It's a quality piece at an excellent price. I haven't tried a lot of 1911 triggers, but I believe it when I hear that it is one of the best. Really light and clean. Accurate and point-of-aim. Love it. Congrats on yours. Joe

I wouldn't part with mine for anything, I might try to get another one for a spare. It's the cheapest 1911 I own but I shoot it better than any of them.

It makes me look good on bad days.

Glad you finally got it off layaway and home where it belongs.

Bawanna ... give me a quick word as to how you compare it to the Ruger. I'm seriously thinking of getting a 1911, and likely would start with one of these two.

Well that's a tough call. If you want stainless, the Ruger is the choice for sure. I like the Ruger very much, everything about it. I just for some unexplained reason hit better with the DE. Could just be the sights, I don't know.

The DE feels slimmer in the grip safety area and I can't put my finger on that either, everything looks pretty much the same.

The thumb safety on the DE is slightly less robust but it functions well and I see no need to change it.

You'll do fine with either one. Since I secured my Ruger I've not been watching that close, but I'd not pay the gouging prices they were commanding for a long time. They might be catching up some by now although I still don't see them around much.

I want to get a Kahr Auto Ordnance now and see how it stacks up to the Ruger and the DE. Don't let the wife hear about this, I'm still trying to get those Tommy mags, not ready for the next battle yet.

Thanks ya'll. The DE1911 does not have the Series 80 safety like my Remington 1911 stainless. I think that is the key. The DE is just a little bit better than my Remington in the trigger and on accuracy. I love both and both are keepers.

By the way I am not tech savvy. Whats the easiest way to post pictures for the tech challenged?

[Bawanna]

That was one plus for the Ruger as well, it's series 70 also. I was surprised that the Remington was Series 80. I don't know that I could tell the difference but I try to stick with the 70's.

I do want a Remington though, course that seems to be a pattern with me, kind of like the feds, I want em all. But just to play with ya know.

Me neither but I use photobucket. Since they opened it up for larger pictures you can just add em direct with decent results too.

Just hit the manage attachments button and go from there. There's several way smarter guys than me that can lend further help if you need it.

Good idea on the picture. If you seen one, you want to see em all.

Photobucket is your best bet.
It's easy to use. Upload the photo click on it, click the direct link box and
come here to post. Click the & paste the link and you're good to go.

Thanks Bawanna I will try and see what photobucket is about. I do love my Remington. On Monday when I went to the firing range I fired both of the 1911's exactly the same way with exactly the same number and brand of ammo. Both were flawless. The DE performs just slightly better and to me the Remington gets the edge in looks. I do love stainless. The series 80 safety just makes the trigger a little heavier.

Remember to block your serial numbers, I forget that all the time, maybe not a big thing but once something goes on the internet it lives the forever. Just one less thing ya know.

Fire up the photobucket and post them pics. I'm not real good at it but if I can do it you can do it for sure.

[warbird1]

Thanks Tinman. Wrote those instructions down. That should help.

[warbird1]

Great reminder on the serial numbers. Not sure how anyone would use them but great to know.
