I am looking to finally get a 1911. I currently own all metal DA/SA hammer guns as well as polymer striker fired, but there's something about America's handgun that makes me want to own this classic in .45 ACP.
Budget is $1000-$1200.
Requisites:
• Front grip checkering
• Front and rear slide serrations
• Rail (sorry 1911 purists)
• Would prefer to avoid Springfield Armory due to political reasons (a separate topic, let's not get into this)
So far I'm eyeing the SW1911s by Smith & Wesson. They seem to fit what I'm looking for and have good reviews. But I know there are others out there, I just don't know where to look, and what are the best options for the money based on what I want in a 1911 for my budget.
