RE: Best 40 S&W target pistol?
good point Briman... Something just pains me to see the 1911 chambered in anything other than 45 ACP... But 9mm is about half the price... It also makes a nice race gun (IPSC, etc.). I actually thought about getting a 10mm for hunting!
If you do want to shoot your 1911 even cheaper you could get a .22 conversion. From what I heard some of the conversions are super accurate.
