Hi, I am a newbie on this site, but have read about every thread concerning the workings of the 1911. I know, I have too much time on my hands! Anyway, you guys seem to have plenty of knowledge around here, so here goes.
I have purchased a SIG GSR, and it is a nice weapon. I have carried/shot a HK P7M8 for over 10 years, and decided to give the .45 a try. I had previously owned a Colt Combat Commander many years ago, but that one was just not for me. I am wondering what the best way to proceed with regards to "making" up another 1911, as I am interested in a .45 for my girlfriend. She loves my P7, but I would like her to get into the 1911. So, how should I proceed? Would you buy a meduim priced stock gun and then do the "drop-in upgrade thing", or just buy a Mid-range and let her go? I was thinking of possibly being able to assemble a gun that is more suited to a "softer female touch" that would better suit her needs. That said, she is not a small girl, being 5'9" and about 135 lb.s.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give this newbie, but I can tell you, I am having a ball with this whole 1911 thing. Nothing like having something to be able to play with. I love adult toys!
Thanks again,
Z
