1911 Recommendations

[SGB]

Springfield Loaded
Kimber Custom II
Ruger SR1911

While I love my Kimber The Springfield Armory Range Officer is my current value recommendation. Match Grade Barrel and adjustable sights for $100-200 below the MSRP $879 is a real good starting point.

My Kimbers are the most accurate and comfortable to shoot. That said it took a L O N G time to get them reliable with JHPs

Para makes a "GI" with more options than a typical GI for about $600. My best suggestion would be S&W. They are replacing their old line with a new "E Series" so good prices should be available. Check Buds.

My first was
S&W 1911 ES in .45, commander length slide. very light, smooth shooting. Like new condition $699. Very happy with this gun.
