I hit the range with a Watchtower Apache to get a new look at the double-stack 9mm 1911.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have been looking for a double-stack 1911 pistol (commonly known as a \u201c2011\u201d), you\u2019ve never had it so good. There was a time when they were \u201ccompetition guns,\u201d and they were heavily used, requiring them to be routinely overhauled and re-fitted by pistolsmiths. But that use taught the \u2019smiths and makers many lessons, and we have all benefited from the experience.<\/p>\n

Now they are everywhere \u2026 and a really good one to lay hands on is the Watchtower Apache.<\/p>\n

\"Watchtower
The Apache is a full-sized pistol, but for that size you get a lot\u2014a lot of ammo and a lot of quality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
