1911

This year at the Industry Day at the Range, Bul Armory was showing off their newest SAS II Saw series 1911 with an extended 5.7-inch barrel.

Doug Koenig talked to us about a couple new offering from the Ruger Custom Shop. They are taking their standard products and turning them into competition ready firearms, all that’s missing is a shooter guide to the winners circle.

This week I got the surprise of my life with the XD(M) 45. Not only am in love, we already got married in Vegas.

Nighthawk Custom is launching a new high-end 1911 that looks as good as it carries, the VIP Black. Built by hand, one by one.

Ed Brown, one of the best 1911 custom shops in the world, has been tinkering with a new take on the 1911 specifically optimized for 9mm Luger.

No one knows what John Browning would’ve thought of a polymer 1911, but it is possible to judge how it performs. And we did just that.

Somehow, the folks at Smith’s Performance Center have made the 1911 mini-me in 9mm with all the bells and whistles that runs like a full-grown model.

Taurus USA has been manufacturing 1911’s since 2005, and this year they released two new models based on Colt’s legendary designs. The Officer and Commander are both chambered in 45ACP and offer consumers all the features of a modern 1911 without the modern price tag.

The 1911 pistol is as much a part of the fabric of America as is baseball, fast cars, and pretty girls. Literally, countless young men headed off into harm’s way with one of Mr. Browning’s hand cannons tucked into their belts.
