I have a SA 45 Loaded. It has a lifetime warranty, stainless barrel, extended beavertail, lightweight trigger and fixed sights. You can get the target model for only a few dollars more. I shoot the heck out of this gun and it has been great.

I have heard that Kimbers are good guns and I seriously considered one as well. I settled upon the SA becasue of great warranty service.

I would not buy a Para as there are numerous complaints about horrible customer service. You've been warned.

All of this talk and nobody mentions Colt?

If you are going to invest in the venerable 1911, why not get the real deal: Colt.

CZ223 You are correct in that I did not really explain what I want the 1911 for. I want good-great accuracy at 25yrds and the possibility of using in IDPA/run and gun. I have a Glock 17 that I will be starting with this weekend (my first IDPA). The 1911 will be a range gun and not a carry gun either. I would like to start w/ some bells and whistles if possible. I am looking seriously at the SA mil-spec or loaded if I can afford and the Rock Island Match (cant ignore) - hand fitted, target sights, mil-spec everything, ect...and from everything I have seen their customer service/warrenty is close to the SA's. Budget $600-$700
