slightly compact models will be more appreciated(for concealed carry but without in any way compromising accuracy and durability). thanks zeeshan

Yes, but none of those manufacturers offer a ported barrel. No muzzle flip.

My Springfield Armory Champion with a set of bone grips made be me. They aren't that pretty but I like the thickness which can't be had from most makers. Monkey Grips will make a "Chunky" style up to .300" thick.

Again? Isn't this your third vanity on this subject? My answer remains the same:

Compact. Lightweight. Reliable.

Huabitze caliber is not measured by bore size - it is the ratio of the bore to the barrell length.

So you must wear REALLY loose clothing.

I have read of tests like that with the Glock, but never with a 1911. I hear that they usually need reworking about 20,000 rounds, but that it can vary quite a bit because there are so many 1911 manufacturers

I had to qualify with one that had over a 2’ group at 15 yards. It needed a rebuild.

At least the third time that I’ve seen. Phishing for something?

1911’s need a new recoil spring after 10,000 rounds.

I also needed to send six Wilson magazines back because they were worn out. Three had to be replaced and the other three needed new followers and springs.

He sounds like some kid who had no idea about firearms so he doesn’t know how to ask or what to ask.

Not a problem. We all started somewhere.

I saw a nurse. I asked what she would give me for it. She offered me $50.

Here's the 2nd.
best .45 handgun

And now this one. All 3 threads have basically said the same thing. I suspect there is more going on here than meets the eye.

There are some new springs out the at will last much longer. Tubbs manufacturing has a bunch of longer lasting match parts.

there are several guns in .45 which do not cause malfunctions like brass spitting on face with limp wristing. Doesnt it mean that those are better handguns? please tellme if hk.45 usp is one of them or not? please tell me more about that sort of handguns(which dont malfunction even with limp wristing)?

Soft lights, a bit of Kenny G on the stereo, make them a mimosa and gently massage their followers.

You periodically let the magazine sit empty for a few days. Leaving a magazine loaded for extended periods causes the spring to lose its strength resulting in misfeeds, misfires and jams.
