I agree that the M1911 is a beautiful bit of engineering and a rugged beast. (I sure should have bought that Singer M1911 that a buddy tried to sell me for $100 back in the day.) Wonderful to take to the range for a bit of fun. But carrying it on your hip all day every day will make you love plastic for its reliability and lighter weight. My H&K USP Compact is just as powerful in .40 S&W and more pleasant to actually carry. Polymer cuts recoil a bit too.
Is the Hogue wood? My experience with Pachmayr rubber grips has been very good. I have some on a T/C Contender pistol that really tame the recoil, as well as weld to the hand! Nice when you're approaching rifle ballistics in a pistol.

Para Ordnance 1911 Expert Stainless .45 ACP. My Walther PPQ is a 9mm. Seems pretty tame compared to the 1911 .45 ACP. Amazing to me that it’s such a difference. I love shooting the 1911. It seems so much more of a firearm than the polymer framed pistols. A “Man’s Pistol”, if you know what I mean. I asked Santa for a Hogue wrap-around grip for it. That will make it even better. -D > On Dec 10, 2017, at 4:45 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Dan sez: > >> Working on getting 250 rounds through >my new 1911 > > 9mm, or. 45 ACP? > Brand of pistol...?
