Like S4 USMC said, it's now FNH for military, but who cares?

LE? Plenty use Bushmaster or other generic brand ARs.

Yes, I'd probably buy a DD before I'd buy a Colt but there are a ton of other brands too. For 1911s, there's a bunch of brands I'd buy before a Colt.

Thread:

Looking at 1911's. Besides brand, I'm debating stainless or not... - Rick601 2014-10-10 16:52:58 (238 views)
- OK great info and ideas here...I pulled the trigger Got an older S&W 686 6" stainless wood - Rick601 2014-10-14 18:45:39 (180 views)
  - nice move! you will be very happy with the 686. I'll be sure to post up any good 1911 deals. - phil type R 2014-10-14 23:05:03 (175 views)
    - the box says the "features" are cc, rr and ts. - Rick601 2014-10-15 09:04:59 (163 views)
  - Well done! - ryoung 2014-10-14 20:37:11 (135 views)
- you could buy both the revolver and a 1911. - phil type R 2014-10-13 21:06:43 (176 views)
  - actually a sane suggestion!! see above - Rick601 2014-10-14 18:38:51 (127 views)
- Colt is the original, everything else is a replica - egp320i 2014-10-12 23:17:52 (192 views)
  - Same can be said for AR15s. - Pablo 2014-10-13 09:43:32 (164 views)
    - The Colt AR is still the best too - egp320i 2014-10-13 17:11:40 (175 views)

        Like S4 USMC said, it's now FNH for military, but who cares?  -  Pablo  2014-10-14 09:07:37 (189 views)
        
        On what basis? and what do you have against Colt?  -  egp320i  2014-10-14 12:21:54 (145 views)
        
        I never said they're bad. I said there are other brands I'd rather have.  -  Pablo  2015-09-29 08:45:20 (168 views)
        
        All 1911's are still based on the original Colt design  -  egp320i  2014-10-15 06:20:14 (118 views)
        
        Personally, I don't just buy something based on the design.  -  Pablo  2014-10-15 08:59:09 (164 views)
        
        Most of the time the original is still the best too  -  egp320i  2014-10-16 02:44:58 (139 views)
        
        FN Herstal is the provider now, not Colt.   -  S4 USMC - Civilianized  2014-10-14 07:54:05 (149 views)
        
        True, and how long did Colt have the contract, some 50 years?  -  egp320i  2014-10-15 06:21:53 (151 views)

        that's not true.   -  S4 USMC - Civilianized  2014-10-14 15:29:20 (123 views)
- Paging ryoung . . . - JimR 2014-10-11 11:34:16 (148 views)
  - OK, but it sounds like Rick's also not firm on caliber. - ryoung 2014-10-11 12:43:15 (260 views)
    - Hunting with a 45 automatic colt pistol seems anti-climatic - egp320i 2014-10-13 08:42:43 (201 views)
      - If you mean a .45acp revolver, it's the exact opposite. - ryoung 2014-10-13 11:00:17 (212 views)
    - I like that. - schnellmb_heart attack 2014-10-12 02:55:41 (146 views)
    - been thinking .45 in the 1911 or 357 in a revolver...but your recoil comment interests me - Rick601 2014-10-11 19:58:32 (192 views)
      - yes, the .357 magnum is tempting..   -  Rick601  2014-10-13 08:12:11 (164 views)
        
        you need the 686 plus seven talo.   -  phil type R  2014-10-13 09:52:57 (177 views)
        
        I am clearly bring my concerns to the correct group of guys!!   -  Rick601  2014-10-13 19:14:43 (164 views)
        
        I shot a S&W 500 expecting my wrist to snap, in reality it was very mild  -  egp320i  2014-10-13 08:44:45 (161 views)
    - Nice! And I see the 5" barrel as preferable. - JimR 2014-10-11 19:45:53 (117 views)
    - I would totally rock that. - phil type R 2014-10-11 15:41:38 (146 views)

  - you know what model your uncle has? Sounds like the Custom II really is a base model. - Rick601 2014-10-10 20:33:05 (160 views)
    - I *think* its a custom carry. He paid $1300ish. - Shane 2014-10-11 13:45:34 (149 views)
- if it's going to see a holster, I'd go stainless imho. - S4 USMC - Civilianized 2014-10-10 17:50:18 (177 views)
