Hey everyone, I'm brand new here, and I'm planning on a .45 as my next pistol, so I found this thread to be useful. I was checking out some Philippine made GI 1911's that seemed to be pretty well made, and not expensive at all. I also like the Springfield Armory. I currently have an LCP, a S&W 6904 (9mm), a .40 USP, and a .44 Redhawk, so naturally I need to add a .45 ACP to the stable.
