m1911
Firearm
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. It was first used in later stages of the Philippine-American War, and was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The pistol's formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era.
In total, the U.S. procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1 pistols in military contracts during its service life. The M1911 was replaced by the 9mm Beretta M9 pistol as the standard U.S. sidearm in October 1986, but due to its popularity among users, it has not been completely phased out. Modernized derivative variants of the M1911 are still in use by some units of the U.S. Army Special Forces, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.
Designed by John Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as USPSA, IDPA, International Practical Shooting Confederation, and Bullseye shooting. Compact variants are popular civilian concealed carry weapons, because of the design's relatively slim width and the power of the .45 ACP cartridge.

I have seen Girsan but are there any other ones out there? Having a Walther 1911 in .22 I'm astounded by the quality for a less than $300 firearm. So that got me wondering are there any other good quality 1911s out there in 9mm? Not interested in Taurus or 45ACP at this time. Possibly could...

I am wondering if I do decide to buy the service grade CMP 1911 I was chosen for for $1250 will it hold its value? Seems like a hefty chunk of change and I cant get a good gauge if there is really a market for them.
My gut tells me to pass for the price.
Seeking a little bit more information on my RIA 45 and 9mm officer models and their extractors:
They are a series 70 I take it. Extractor was stiff to extract without pushing the claw inward to which I could then pull out. I noticed once I had removed it that it was purposely bent or “angled”...
These are discontinued! If you know, you know.

Bought a mixed lot of supposed 1911 magazines. In the lot were three 10 rounders. One works for 1911 but the other two don’t. They have a slightly different angle when standing on a table and have a more square front than the 1911 mags. Disassembled them completely with no discernible markings...
