How's everybody doing out there?
I have found myself wanting a 1911. Never owned one, never shot one. I used to have that old black Crossman 1911-style BB gun when I was a kid though. Since this will be my first 1911 I really want to err on the side of "cheap". I am a fairly experienced pistol shooter.
This is the first gun I have been able to afford in a long time. I was considering a RIA 1911 but lately I have been thinking, I just got a raise and have a little bit of spare income that I would like to see help out someone else here in the US. "When you come up, bring everyone else with you" is something I learned in the army. I am not fanatical about it (I have shopped at Walmart before, hahaha) but at the moment I can afford to spend my money in accordance with my ethics. So yes, I would consider a foreign manufacturer as well. Bonus points for US production.
...
Anyways, I sure would appreciate some reccomendations.
Thanks!
