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 would get a Springfield milspec and when you get some more budget send it in for a front strap checkering, trigger job, and refinish, and possibly a reliability package. RIA are good carry guns especially a compact model. Remington are good, and you could also search for a older colt compact for that price range.
