I know Springfield makes some. You may be able to find a railed Kimber under $1,000. Depends on your definition of "about".
My Taurus PT1911 ALR was only $575 from another member of NWFA. Added a Wilson Combat lightweight Hammer for about $50 and 3 Wilson Combat 8 round mags for another $75, and I am good to go for about $700. Steel slide, alloy frame with rail. Great gun for the price and as accurate or better than my friend's $1100 Springfield Operator. My 2 cents worth......... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE...WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING----WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!"
I just acquired a kimber stainless tle/rl 2 for 850 with a bunch of goodies on it, also those railed Taurus 1911s are pretty nice, Clint smith shoots one alongside his $3000 les baer tactical 1911.
hey Link I watched the guy at Southridge put one on a 1911 and it looked real good he will probably have pics posted soon
Plus another 2 cents on the ALR. Be for warned though, holsters are not as easy to come by for the railed 1911's. I am a "lefty" so it gets a little tougher.
