The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - how "affordable" would you go for a durable carry 1911?

I'm currently in the market for a 1911 and I'm having a silly hard time trying to find one within my $900 budget and that meets my liking. I can get a Springfield Loaded in black for about $890 from my LGS, but its not really what I want. If I could find one in stainless for around that price, I'd jump on it real quick. I've been looking around on GunBroker a LOT lately, but by the time you pay for shipping and transfer fee, your not really saving anything. GRRR! So frustrating.
