I've always looked down on them as being low capacity and antiques but today I used one. Now I think I kinda like them. I like the trigger on them and it was shooting more accurately than my glock at extended ranges.

I kinda want a colt but not sure what model, do they make an all steel(stainless or plated) with all metal parts(rail gun has a poly backstrap...)?

Yes, Colt makes quite a few all stainless firearms...

For example:

As much as I am a Glock fan, I also enjoy a good 1911.

Nothing wrong owning a 1911. I have owned a couple.

I saw some .22's 1911's at the gun show here in Orlando yeaterday... Boy I was tempted!

Are those .22's ok to get or is more of a "toy" weapon? FILL ME IN GUYS!

I want one of these as well. I love shooting our 1911 but too expensive to feed often. A .22 would be just right.

JA Ceiner has .22 conversion kits for all types of 1911's...and Glocks !!

The "backstrap" is the mainspring housing and is easily swapped out for flat, arched, wedge shaped, etc. Yup, back in 1911 JMB already had a modular design in his .45. If you think there are lots of accessories for Glocks, wait until you see what is out there for old slabsides.

Webphisher, I have a SA Range Officer and love it. The did a great job added in the extras and keeping the price down. SS barrel with SS matched bushing, adjustable sights, up graded the trigger, skeleton hammer, just to name a few things that Springfield did to the RO to make more appealing over the GI models.

I plan on getting the range officer as my next 1911. I love that pistol. I currently have the Loaded Tactical. But I may like the RO better and it is cheaper.
