1. Or you could.go for a glockteen eleven. RRA just released a poly frame ’11… (If you don’t mind buying from Rock River. But that’s another thread.)

   1. EAA Witness Elite 1911 Polymer retailing for $580 sounds attractive

2. I have both, and the 1911 is a double stack

3. Ruger 1911, if you don’t mind the stainless steel look. Good quality firearm that won’t break the bank. Shoots great out-of-the-box, no mods needed, will likely last forever.

   Got mine at a Rural King for $650 out the door.

4. Why would you want an orange follower? That’s not quite as bad as a gun painted blue, but it doesn’t seem like a good idea. At the very best it seems like a pointless idea.

   1. Why would you care?

      1. To me, orange marks dummy devices, for example dummy cartridges.
         Was there a specific reason for them to do this? If so, what? If not, why would you do this?

         1. High visibility for the follower, so when you see orange you know you’re locked open on an empty without the tactile feedback from ‘pull trigger, no bang’.

            I use bright followers in my mags on most of my double-stacks and rifle mags for just exactly this reason. One more visual indicator that it’s time to feed the freedom machine another stack.

            1. Ok. My pistol doesn’t lock open (Boberg) so that consideration doesn’t apply so much.

               1. Plus the Boberg (and now Bond Arms Bullpup) has no follower at all. It has no need for one.

5. “One of these days I will eventually break down and buy a Glock and a 1911.”

   It’s been done.

6. Hmm,

   My little model 60 S&W still seems viable and enough for me.

   On the other hand, a 50 round Glock rimfire?

   If only..
