MexicanDragon Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Other than looks and a very slight weight saving are there any advantages to the trigger or hammer having holes through them ? Also does that texture displayed on the wooden panels have a specific name ? About the holes... it looks cool and it saves weight... The design on the two that you were referencing is typical for 1911s, and is called the "Double Diamond" pattern. I have something that's a bit different on mine, but you can't really see it. My carry 1911 Gotta love Ed Brown. I almost went with a Dan Wesson CBOB last year, but the shop I was at just had it in stock in 10mm. After fondling about 12 1911s I was looking at a Colt Gold Cup, and seeing that my buddy (the shop owner) knew what I was wanting/needing, and knowing the Colt wasn't the best match, he showed me the lightly used Baer. It was a bit over my budget... but whatever. A little bartering later and I walked out with a crazy piece. Fun fun. **BRENT** Quote
grawk Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I don't see value in cartridges other than 9mm and .45 for handguns. You can get REALLY small 9mms these days for when you need really concealed, and if a .45 doesn't knock em down, you're dead anyway. The other cartridges are designed to sell guns. Quote
MexicanDragon Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 the 10mm, at full power, would be a cool back woods gun, though. same ballistics as the 41 magnum, more or less. If you have a 27,000$ vinyl rig and are a DIY'er, buy 10mm and reload. If you're a girly man or need a BUG, 9mm. If you want to be right, get a 1911 in .45ACP. IMO, YMMV, blah blah blah. **BRENT** Quote
