OK guys this is going to be embarrassing to admit but I don't know squat about 1911 style guns. I've picked up somethings about other popular makes but for some reason I just never picked up on the 1911 . So go ahead and laugh

.

I'll be going to shot this year and hope to pick up a deal on one say from baer or nighthawk; reason is everyone is telling me if I'm going to get one that I better do it right. We're a dealer for both bear and nighthawk so the price although high will hopefully be right, depending on what the big boss let's me get

. Is there anything that you guys can tell me about the platform to go down the right path.

I know that every company has lemons and I've seen both a nighthawk completely fail and a front sight fall off a les baer but never seen or heard the outcome of either events. But if you've had any experiences with either customer service departments I'd like to hear your experience. Or am I better of just getting a Kimber. Remember I'm I'm Cali and don't have all models available to me so I was looking at possibly the baer custom carry or a hawk grp.

I had a gun that Ed Brown himself built, back when he was building them. It sucked. I had to have a local gunsmith fix it.

That was back in the 80's. I hear his stuff is better now.

Just put my first handgun in layaway today, might have to cut cigars out of the budget for a month or two, or not.

Who makes it? Is that front sight dovetailed too? Hows the slide/frame fit? Any rattle?

The brand is American Classic. The model is American Classic II. Same model as the FIrestorm DLX. Made by Metro Arms in the Philippines. Both sights are dove tailed. No rattle at all. The slide to frame fit is very tight. It shoots great. Here are two reviews.

Sweet. I love 1911's. Purchased my first one less than a year ago and love, love shooting it. It too is a slippery slope, like these stogies.

Hey, check out the 1911 forum on line. Absolutely the best forum for people who love 1911's. Enjoy! Steve
