1911 .45 ????
I have been looking at a target grade,match grade,trophy grade 1911 .45. I am wanting one for bullseye shooting. My question is Is it worth spending that extra money on one of those 1911s when I have a H K uspt .45 brand new still in the the box. Will the h k shoot has accurate has one of those other 1911s. I have never shot my h k, does any one have one here that they have shot alot to give me some feed back. Any opinion would be greatly app. thanks

If your USPT is in 45, it has the o-ring on the barrel for optimum centering inside the slide for optimized accuracy. It will shoot as well as, if not better, than most 1911 out there.
For "some" the grip on the HK is too big. For "others" the grip on the 1911 is too small. If the grip size isn't a problem for you, go with the HK.0 -
For a 1911 clone , check out the specs on the "comes tuned" Taurus 45.
A lot of special stuff for the money ($600). I'm seriously looking.
I know it ain't 'merican but neither is an HK.

...Ever given much thought to a Colt A1 for a platform...or even a Series 70...and go from there. You might be surprised at the accuracy of some of the many Colt Custom Shop guns that are out there, that would require little or no parts change to obtain the results your looking for. With some of the Custom Shop guns, the "less", the better, but that can be said for a lot of Colts; despite the myths that abound.
...If you get a nice Custom Shop gun and do nothing to permanently alter the gun, your investment will more likely be safe, not so with other 1911's. Why not start with the gun that all others copy, instead of a clone...[;)]

A bullseye gun has to shoot well under 2" at 50yds. There are not many off the shelves that can perform like that.
They are built with lighter recoil springs and are intended to shoot lighter loads. Like 4.2g of bullseye powder and a 200g semiwadcutter, lead bullet.
There is another class of bullseye called Service pistols. They have to shoot full load hardball ball ammo.
But until you shoot at least in the expert class, it isn't that important.0 -
regardless of your final decision the hk polygonal barrel will never be as accurate as a rifled barrel 0 -
Hello if you look on the firing line at the Bulls-Eye National Matches at Camp Perry and check out the Master Class relay To a man they will be shooting 1911 Based Pistols at least they were the years I was there 1972-2005 [^]"Praise The Hard-Ball Gun" 0 -

I would ask, please, where you get this information. Most everything I have read comparing polygonal to regular rifling, indicates that the polygonal is a bit better. Better seal, less wear on the bullet, higher velocity, lasts longer, for "continued" accuracy.
Never mind, don't know that anything has been "proven" either way, at this point. Glock people still like their firearms, just as HK people do. WITH the polygonal barrels. It will probably continue to be debated for years to come, as is metal guns vs. polymer ones. [;)][:D][:D]0 -
I was really just asking is it better to not shoot the hk and buy a 1911 target pistol or save 800-1600 and shoot the hk is there gon to be that much of a diff worth spend the money. Maybe I am just looking for a reason to buy a new gun!!!! all of you guys input is greatly app thanks 0 -

ask any accomplished competition shooter, ask anyone who replaces there polygonal barrel with a rifled one, polygonal barrels do have certain attributes, but tight group accuracy is not one of them
i first made master with a polygonal barrel, but would never take it to a bullseye match
so quit reading, and start shooting[:)]0 -

I'll continue to do both, thank you very much.
As far as the barrel goes.
Seems to be a LOT of people switching TO the polygonal.
Time will tell.0 -

nuff said and it is apparent that you do not have a 1911 and that is almost considered a must have for any pistol enthusiast..
