I want to stick to a full size. I can conceal a full size and I like the full size better.

$850 worth of ammo. +1 Or get a Springfield milspec with NM prefix used for $500 and get $350 worth of a reliablity job by a reputable smithy. I'd focus on: Replacing the ignition system (hammer, sear, disconnector) flat MSH without ILS 10-8 solid trigger King rear sight slide release just me though |

I am not worried about debt... I just have never owned a Colt 1911. Should I get a 70 or 80 series? What model should I get? I am not worried if it is SS or blue/parkerized. I do want another full size maybe a rail since this will be a carry pistol also.

I don't have a problem with layaway. I did my AR that way from Tanners.
As to 70 or 80 series.. That's up to you. I won't carry a series 70. Then again my series 80 range pistols have been converted to series 70. There's about a dozen different ways to answer your question. It's going to come down to what fits in your comfort zone. |

Honestly I am comfortable with just about any pistol. I own an assortment of different pistols and it will get plenty of range time before it gets the honor of getting into my pants.
I just know this I want a 1911 for carry, full size, loop hammer, skeleton trigger (I can tune it myself if worst comes to worst), rail is not a concern it can have it or not, and finish now that I have thought more about it I want a SS. Does Colt make something like this around 700 to 900? If not Colt who would you guys suggest. Lets hear some opinions on some different models. |

My carry for the last couple of months has been a Colt Combat Elite. If your not familiar with this. It's a stainless receiver and blued upper. I would prefer an all stainless for carry or something done in black durable corrosive resistant finish. I believe Colt has a Government model XSE in stainless. Check the website. I've seen quite a few all stainless used Colts on GB in your price range.

They have introduced a new railed frame model, but it's been around the 1K mark from what I've seen.

You probably don't need it. Debt is a whole different 12 step program. I agree with you to a certain extent, but I buy things just to put them on credit. Yes, I have a plan for paying for them and never over-step my means, but before I got a credit-card, life sucked. I could not get an appartment, and I know that later I wouldn't be able to buy a car or house unless I payed cash, or took a very high interest rate, so I got a Credit Card, and use it with abandon, pay my statements on time, and make sure not to dig a hole I can't climb out of in less than 3 months. My credit score went from being a total bogue to being a mid 600 beacon in around a year. Last I checked was about 6 months ago. I am hoping to have a 700+ beacon by the time I get out of college. So yes, I disagree about all debt being bad in a sense that MANAGABLE debt is okay, and helps to cement your place in society as a trust-worthy person when you pay it off. It's the debt that eats you alive that you can't get out from under that is to be avoided. |
