Ditto on the Rock Island Armory. It's a great entry level 1911, reliable and accurate and all for around the $400 price range. Had a new shooter at the range today who made the mistake of listening to someone that talked him into buying a used .380. We spent more time clearing jams that shooting it. I took out my RIA .45 ACP 5" and let him shoot it. He is a convert and will be looking for his own in the very near future. Nothing like the feel of a real 1911 firing a real .45 round. The extra money spent for ammo will be very rewarding.
