Looking to purchase a 1911 and am trying to get a consensus on what you unfortunate souls like myself think a "best bang for your buck" model would be thats not on our wonderful banned list? Looking to spend around the $1500 mark. I would really like a Colt Gold Cup Trophy, but apparently thats not happening...

Maybe leaning towards a Springfield TRP, thoughts?

Get the TRP and never look back.

There isn't a "banned" list so much as a list of handguns approved for sale.  There are a lot of fine firearms on that list.  That there is a list is an infringement but all that's required to get on the list is to submit samples for test.

If you arent set on the TRP, try the PX9109LP from springfield.  They can be had from certain vendors for $699 (I have two, just got last one last week).  Springfield Loaded 1911, night sights, parkerized model.  They are a great value.

I have several Mil Spec's and paid more than this loaded for the stainless mil spec's...

What vendors might these be? Best I've found is $745, which is about $100 more than I've found the mil spec.

TRP is not bad.  But also consider this,
