Another vote for RIA.
Get one, spend the rest on mags and maybe even a couple upgrades/modifications. Shoot the piss out of it until you’re sure it’s reliable |

You don't say anything about guns you already have. If this is a first real gun, I would ask why a 1911? If because of what you read and saw on youtube, you are on the wrong track. 1911 is what you get to enjoy for play, it's not that great to carry. A plastic striker fired gun is the best carry option and there are many really good one out there. I would not get a Glock if you are someday going to get a 1911. GLock has a goofy grip angle that is different then the rest of the world. So it makes your markmanship suck.
HK VP9 is my favorite full size. Sig 365XL is my favorite compact. But the S&W M&P stuff is worth a look, Walther, and many others. If you get a popular one you can get holsters, sites, etc easily. IWI Masada seems to be a good gun but not enough of them out there for a good accessory market (holsters etc) to exist |

As of a couple of years ago when I bought my last, Colt was making some of the best 1911s that they've ever made. Springfield is right up there as well, if you're not turned off by their politics. More importantly though, owning a 1911 is like owning a classic muscle car in that you need to know how to work on it. The big three things that I've seen that need to be in agreement are the extractor tension, the magazine spring, and the recoil spring. Assuming all of the "hard" parts are fit correctly, if you have issues it's most likely going to be one of those three things.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, buy great magazines. Wilson, Chip McCormick are the best. Expensive though, but if you're spending a grand on a gun buy good mags too. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm looking for a Commander size 1911 or 1911 style (sig) pistol in .45, or 10mm. I am looking for something for EDC, and also to carry while hunting. What would you get, and why? $1,000 is the max. RIA or Ruger, probably best bang for your buck in that price range. I'd probably go with the RIA and try to spend less of the budget (Ruger would be the more expensive of those two options), so I had money set aside for high quality mags. Yes, buy great magazines. Wilson, Chip McCormick are the best. Expensive though, but if you're spending a grand on a gun buy good mags too. I'm an admitted Wilson fan, have 9 WC pistols, and love their 1911 mags, for everything except 10mm. They sent me 4 new mags, then 4 new springs & followers. They just don't work. For 10mm 1911, I stick with Metalform and Tripp Research. I haven't tried any CMC 10mm, but have had good luck with their .45 mags. |

Find a gently used Dan Wesson VBOB or CBOB commander in stainless, no MIM parts and they are put together right.
Colts are full of MIM and plastic parts, the last new Colt I looked at had a plastic trigger and main spring housing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sad truth is Springfield makes best 1911’s before you get to Dan Wesson money. But Dan Wesson is worth the increase in budget This. Colt now has QC issues and not much for 1k. I have had Rugers and now a Dan Wesson. No comparison. I like the Ruger but it is a mile behind the dan wesson. |

Commander length isn’t a 1911.
Changing internals(series 80, going to external extractor, etc) disqualifies it from being a 1911. Changing type of barrel and length of frame or slide disqualifies it from being a 1911. Only acceptable changes are slight fitting changes such as BTGS, length of trigger, mainspring housing, sights. |

Not trying to derail your thread, but if I had a spare $1k laying around today that I've earmarked for firearms I would not spend it on a 7 round classic that is not likely to get banned during JoeMala's reign. I would use that grand and buy 30 round magazines, drum mags, AR15 lowers, and any gun that you've had your eye on that could POSSIBLY be viewed as an "assault rifle".

If you dont already have 30+rd mags falling out of your ears, racks of ARs, and crates of ammo for them then you're retarded. Right now if I had a grand it would probably go towards a 625 mountain gun. Thats right. A 6 shot revolver. I have glocks, ARs, and mags for the eventual grandkids already stashed. |
