This is like saying you're buying a car for less than $50,000 & what should you get?
 The usual brands are good: Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Para Ordnance, & now S&W. There's also Wilson & Les Baer if you want the best made. Avoid the brands Charles Daly, Safari & Llama. I'm sure there's other brands that others will mention to avoid. |

At that spending limit, you should be able to squeeze out 2 good used ones and double your pleasure.
My example...one SA for $325 AND a SS 1991 for $425 and lots of magazines, ammo and goodies with the remainder. (Prices vary, of course) On that thought, one compact for carry and one 5 incher for the range? |

STI Trojan Single Stack
Best factory semi custom 1911 in the $1000 range. To get anything better you have to get a true 1911 smith build you a custom pistol. Ready for competition, about the same price as the higher end kimbers. |

Wilson makes a polymer framed 1911 in that price range. WILSON COMBAT ...you might want to check it out.

Had a Kimber, did'nt like it! It kept jamming up even with the recommended ammo :(, it was very dissapointing! I traded it for a SA and it's been great! The Kimber's probably still a good gun just did'nt hold up th my abuse I guess!
