If I were to want to buy a nice 1911 that wasn't some Kimber overpriced crap or Dan Wesson tolerances-tighter-than-your-asshole bullshit, what would I get? Does a budget around $850 get me there?
Parker Lopez
If its not a classic A1 that was used to nigger-ize Nazis or gas gooks, its not worth it
Austin Ramirez
Tfw not a fan of fuddy five but like 1911s

Still looking for an aluminum frame doublestack though. Read something about les baer and some para p14-45 though that sounded close.
Austin Reyes
Springfield armory loaded.

That's gonna be a no for me, dog

Then I guess you're out of luck, given your criteria.
Gavin Carter
They have them in 10mm

Brandfags will probably shit on it, but Ruger's SR1911 is good in my experience. The example I recently inspected was actually better than the Colt Government model being sold in the same store. They had comparable levels of fit and finish, but the Ruger actually had a properly tuned extractor right out of the box despite being less expensive.
Julian Gomez
What's wrong with .45?
Jack Rogers
For some reason I thought the Ruger 1911 was around $500. I'd heard good things about it and don't irrationality hate Ruger, so I'll keep it in mind, thanks.
Gavin Ortiz
Those 1911’s are junk now. There are better ones out there but they’re massively over priced
Lincoln Diaz
Why not buy used?
John Thomas
Because I want a nice shiny 1911 to beat up on my own. Nothing against used guns, though. 5 out of my 8 had previous owners.
Angel Campbell
I just prefer a greater capacity for my fullsized handguns. Just my preferance
Jayden Baker
Not a fan of meme calibers either
Michael Brooks
That’s respectable then. I’m getting a used Springfield for 600, that’s why I asked.

Old girl is still keeping men free. Today is a good day for a cleaning.

man it is really that time again for the M1911's Birthday

Taurus does two guns well: their M9s and their 1911s.
I got a PT1911 that comes with a nice beaver tail grip safety, picatinny rail, 3-dot Novak sights, full length guide rod, ambi safety, and lowered external extractor NIB for $500. It's accurate and soft shooting and I can't recommend it enough.
I'd also recommend a Ruger SR1911 or a Kimber Custom II, they're really nice and also fall within your price range.
