Not sure if my situation is common, but I have always planned to buy a 1911 "one day." I plan to spend a decent amount of money on a product from a high-end manufacturer with a strong reputation when I finally make the purchase. Unfortunately for Colt, the current market has made it so that many of the other guns that have been lingering on my wish list are now in-stock at fire sale prices at every LGS in town. I have a hard time getting to $900 spare dollars in the budget when so many other guns, that spent the last two years on a neverending backorder, are now available below $500.
