This question is similar but more general than the previous post about which 1911 to buy. I'm very new to them and was just wondering what the general feeling was about which 1911 is the best quality. I'm looking at a SA mil spec right now just to give an idea of my price range. thanks |

Not trying to be a smart ass, but your kinda asking a bit too generic question, IMO. If you have a price range, then we can help you decide this or that brand. If not, then hell, buy a Les Baer for $2500. If you do indeed have a price range then buy the best 1911 you can afford. This includes buying the better brands used rather than the cheaper brands new. The usual suspects for brands to buy are Springfield Armory, Colt, Kimber & possibly Para Ordnance. All make good guns & all turn out the sometimes lemon. Brands that are iffy, at best, are Auto Ordnance, Charles Daly & Essex. So, be a bit more specific in your price range & we can load you down with opinions. |
It was such a good deal, I bought two: NRM Colt 1991:

Well, I actually did state my price range in my original post, being the SA Mil spec. I figured this was a pretty general question so I was just looking for a good solid choice for that money. Bob's usual suspects is pretty much what I figured was good. Anymore opinions are certainly welcome though. Dan |
BobCole says the same about Colt. Personaly I'd be happy with either one. Even if all my 1911's are Colt  When looking to buy a handgun treat it like buying a new car. Look under the hood, kick the tires and work the action. If it don't look or sound right pass on it and go to another untill you find one your happy with. |
