1911's which one??

[Coyotekiller]

Where did you find that long list of every 1911?

Except for two of the best Wilson and STI.

My Sig 1911 is fantastic but if your willing to put the money down I would go with a Wilson, high end STI, or collector Colt.

There are several great out there. Those would be my pick of the litter.

I have five 1911's (3 colts, 1ithaca A1 and the TBH sti). I am a huge fan of the original colt 1911. Great reliable weapon that will not go down in value.

I looked at a couple in the $800 before tax range. The 2 i liked were the Taurus pt1911 ar and the Desert Eagle 1911. Just my thoughts. My brother has the taurus 1911 al i think it is, and its a nice pistol. Just my thoughts. The taurus 1911 ar i have seen for $689 and the Desert Eagle for $799. my thoughts. Good luck

My Dan Wesson is awesome. Everyone who picks it up quietly says, "Wow." I still haven't let anyone else shoot it yet!

I picked up a uramex regent100 last night at academy. Price tag was $429. It's a Turkish made gun but got great reviews and seems to be well made. The Turks won me over with my yildiz over-under so I figured I'd give there 1911 a try.

colt Combat Elite, Kimber, springfield armory or Sig Sauer.... cannot go wrong with any of these. have carried the first one for almost 25 years and have never had a jam or problem....

Oh wow that is a huge list. Lol. I had to click on more. Stopped in the S's.

STI. Just got the TBH edition and it is sweet.

[DarrellS]

I own Colts, S&W's and Springfields. All are great guns and none will let you down.

[Kills-myth]

Taurus PT1911 is a great option for under $600.

[Lungbustr]

Id recomend getting one with a light rail, just makes it much more useful imo. I have colts wouldnt mind an STI. Whatever you choose make sure you only get really high quality mags for it.

Without going custom:

Dan Wesson
Colt
STI
Springfield

In that order.

Mike D - not wilson is that list? So here's my question, since I really don't know 1911's that well what are you paying for besides the name? I understand that some may have more or better polishing done internally that makes everything operate smoother... Other than that I've heard you can take a cheaper remington 1911 for example, and take it apart, polish the hail out of everything, replace and few things and have a pretty sweet and smooth shooting 1911... Is most of these 1911 parts mill spec stuff? Or is there that big of difference between manufacturing like (example) a rem 700 action compared to a stiller action...

I love my STI! I do like the Wilson's though, but if I get another .45 I think I'm gonna look at an STI lawman.
