I've been out of shooting for 30+ years, but would like to get back into it. My intended uses are HD (not CC), hunting (as a backup hog killer), and target/plinking. I'd intended to get a .45 1911 just because years back I shot one and it "fit me" very well compared to a few other pistols I had shot. Also, since plinking is an intended use and a .22 is so much less expensive for regular practice, the ability to swap barrels is very attractive.
However, one major store has the Ruger PX4 (.40) on sale for $499 until the 17th. At the counter, it fits well in my hand. I have not yet found one that I can test fire, but the price is attractive when compared to the Remington R1 that I've had my eye upon.
I like 1911's, but I'm not married to them. I'm not married to any particular manufacturer either (well, for shotgun I'm married to Browning but that doesn't apply here).
I'm not familiar at all with the PX4 and haven't yet had the time to really research it. I'm not sure how reliable it may be, how many aftermarket offerings are available, if it supports a barrel conversion kit, etc. So I would appreciate any experienced opinions on the PX4 pistol and my use for it.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew
