Looking for my first 1911... - Page 2

Whirlwind06 · February 19, 2013, 01:29 PM

I just put a stainless Para Expert in layaway at my local shop. A bit over 600, sharp looking pistol. I have had 2 or 3 blue or parked RIAs great guns too.
But I really like stainless steel pistols.

Ruger has two very nice stainless 1911's, one is the new commander.
IF you can find one, prices are a little more than your goal...But, deals may be found!
(Maybe)

The Commander size Rugers are beginning to show up. I got the full size 1911 a month ago and saw a Commander size over at Sportsman's Warehouse this morning.

I tried it out and bought it. Same price as the full size gun. In this neck of the desert, they are going for $699. I got a $35 veteran discount for the gun.

I wish I could afford a 1911 each month...

I have the Springfield MC Operator and although this is out of your price range SA does offer bugdet models as mentioned before and as far as the RIA,,,for entry level 1911 medicine,,,,,,You won't be disappointed.

What ever you decide from bottom to top of the line, go with the Wilson Combat magazines. Any mag problems you can think about will go away no matter what model 1911 you shoot.

I picked up a Colt 1991A1 5" Government Stainless .45ACP for $600.00 used
and it's been flawless.
Look around for used ones you can find some pretty good deals. I also picked up a Springfield Armory Champion Stainless with all the bells and whistles for $650.00
