Here's a little trick. Go to the gun show. Look on the used tables. You don't see any Kimbers do you? (you wont) How many Springfields? one? maybe? But Llamas' and the like are a dime a dozen Do you see where I'm going with this? When someone gets a good one they keep it! Its like a used Ruger Blackhawk,(almost non existent) If you want a good one,Find out what people AREN'T trading in, then go get yourself one.

I really like my Norinco 1911, the only thing I am going to improve on it is the sights. It is jam-free and uses all mags.

I was just curious if anyone has seen a Dan Wesson 1911 yet. I happen to live close to the factory so I feel this kind of obligation to consider their pistols but have never actually seen one. Believe it or not as close to the factory as I am there is not one dealer in the area that stocks them.
I'm dying to know more about them but have only seen one write up (it was very good by the way). |

Quoted: I really like my Norinco 1911, the only thing I am going to improve on it is the sights. It is jam-free and uses all mags. Norincos are made of good steel and are on the acceptable base gun lists of the big dollar custom boys like Wilson ETC. |

... I really like Para-Ordnance P14-45
I fits nicely in my hand, it's tuned to digest the funkiest ammo around and she's a tack driver to boot. I like 1911's because you can switch springs quickly (lighter) and shoot wimpy loads at steel IPSC plates all day without any punishment and cheaply. Then clean, replace your "duty" load spring and load with 16 + 1 in the pipe with Cor-Bon +P+ loads for carry. Very diverse. |

Get the Kimber Classic (the base model) or a Springfield "loaded" and you will be good to go.
Pick up some Wilson Rogers 8rd magazines, they are the best. |

Quoted: I was just curious if anyone has seen a Dan Wesson 1911 yet I saw one at the Big E gun show in Springfield last year. They were claiming to be MA compliant so I was pretty psyched about them. Of course, they're still not available here. They looked pretty good, and had decent price tags on them. They have a good feel, but the true test is at the range. One of the "budget" models might be worth a try. |

Prices on the Kimber Custom Classic have gone down alot. I have a Classic Royal. Springfield is probably your best bet.

if you were to get one of those surplus 45s with a new barel and barel bushing and new springs you would probaly have a nice gun. the great thing about the 1911s is just about anyone can change parts and make what you want
