Which 1911?

[No_Regerts]

I know I have one or i have something similar .
But not every one can have a different color belt for every day of the week brown Black tan or what ever some of those gun belts are exspesive .just saying

Hehe, I have a black, tan, and gray one. Its a total fashion faux pas to not match belt to shoes...

I would offer the guy in Washington what I could afford for his Colt Combat Comander that is selling it for $725. Great guns.

I believe that one is a 9mm...

ATI has a Commander size in the 450.00 range, with some of the frills... It's a fairly tight gun, out of the box. And more accurate than I am...

 

[Colts4me]

No its 45, but there is one offered in 9mm for $995

WTS WA - Colt 1911 Blued Commander $725

Nice Kimber for $650 also

WTS OR - Kimber Custom II

HAD an RIA and then got a Taurus pt1911, while some may still knock and yes sometimes Taurus deserves it
I now have two PT1911's and gun for gun more accurate then any RIA I have ever shot, and shoots as good as the
Colt MKIV Ser 70's that I have owned so... flame on.

I kinda like that MMMMM or could match my gun lol BLACK tan grey red and black .
Tan and BLACK or even ZOMBIE GREEN AND BLACK

I got about $650 and want a 1911. Should I just get a Springfield milspec or is RIA a real option? And is there any other budget friendly 1911s I should look at. Thanks

i have a Springfield and love it. The Ruger SR1911 is also a fine choice. I'm not a fan of Rock Island. The ATI is also made in the Philippines but has a better fit and finish.

I have a pair of RIA, and they both have been flawless! For the money, it' hard to go wrong with these and every thing they come standard with would cost a ton more to add or do with any others! Look at what they come with and compare to the others in the same price range and see for your self!

ive had really good results with my Remington R1 Enhanced threaded.

MSRP $1150
Out the door at my FFL after rebate $630



i added grips and a wilson barrel bushing.

i love it.
im also pretty sure theyre made on PARA tooling.

I have only a vintage Combat Commander, but knowing Ruger's financial and business acumen, their rep as unbreakable, their customer support, their US manufacture, their unwavering 2nd amendment/NRA support and the fact that I believe it is impossible to wear a Ruger out, my vote goes that way.

That would be among my top two for a workaday 1911. Remington is going through some hard times, but it is not the fault of the workers.

if it means anything, this 1911 runs 100% with a suppressor attached too. even with 1000rnds between cleanings. maybe 5-6k rounds thru it so far

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

my next 1911 might be a 10mm dan wesson or ruger...idk, but it has to have a threaded barrel. maybe i'll build one.


maybe i'll do one in 460 rowland

The R1 looks pretty good. I'm kinda looking for a GI model vs fancy modern 1911. You guys sure know about 1911 stuff haha thanks!

 

[SIG34]

Rock island but honestly I'd save up your penny's and get one in the $800-1000 range

Sig makes a great 1911 or S&W , Colt!!!

Colt 70 series is one of the closest to the original as far as modern 1911s go. Sans finish of course.
