Thank you all for you opinions. I was looking at some of the Kimber classics, and they look like a very nice piece, and they aren't to pricey. I suppose I'll have to hold each of them in my hand, and feel the trigger. So far though, I haven't seen a 1911 that I felt was put together cheaply. Once again, thanks.
new to 1911's....where do I start?
Hi, I'm totally new to 1911's, and handguns in general. I really want to get into some competition shooting, so I want a good 1911 .45 in case I ever decide to give it a try. Maybe even make it a project, and learn along the way as I add accessories, change sites, etc.
So where do I start? What brand? Wide body or not? What finish? I would like to keep the price down, since I may be changing a lot of things on it (So a $1200 Kimber is out of the question)
I've heard that springfield is a good base to make a competition 1911, and the price seems reasonable. Any suggestions?
