Wow, they are $140 all day in northern IN...

I've shot the Taurus and it shot well and felt great, but after being burned by the other Taurus semi-autos that I've owned, I wasn't going to take that plunge again on a 1911. So, I bought a Rock Island Armory Tactical 1911 and couldn't be happier, the gun is amazing and I paid $437 shipped...

Wow, thanks for all the input. I went and looked at some of the RIA's, they look pretty good and felt pretty nice and were priced on point. I did get to handle the Ruger SR1911, that one was super nice, they wanted $745.00 for it, but man was it sweet. I've heard mixed reviews on the Para stuff...

Ok, here's the deal, I've got $600 that's begging to be spent on a new gun. I've been itching for a 1911, but as a first-timer in the 1911 department, I don't wanna pick the worst starter platform (it'd be just my luck), so I'm looking to the 1911 experts on here for some advice. Before anyone...

Sweet dude, stealthy looking!!

Yeah, I'd advise against him getting a Hi-Point also, don't want him to get a sub $200 .45 that just plain works and has the best warranty in the business..... Now, if he's looking for something to carry, yeah, Hi-Point wouldn't be the best.

Good call on the range guns, I'd steer clear of those for sure. In my experience though, I'd love to get the "Hi-Point" of 1911's, that means it'd go bang for me every time, haha, J/K. Mine have been flawless, but definitely don't see SD/HD time, just plinkers at the range....

Thanks for the input guys!! I've thought about the Judge also, it's such a nasty gun, definitely wouldn't mind having one! I've really had the itch to get into a 1911, just don't wanna get a bad specimin since I'm trying to stay under $600. Can a truly decent one be had in that range? I don't...

I've been debating on the 1911 platform, I'm afraid I'll get addicted and need to get a couple of the higher end models.....

Let me start off by saying that I currently own a Ruger MKII, a Ruger LCR .38, a Glock 19 and 23, a SA XD .40, a Hi-Point JHP .45 and C9. I've recently lost a bunch of weight and the wife is buying me a new gun to celebrate me losing about 70 pounds. I really don't know what I wanna get, any...

Not a problem, mine was made like 12 or 13 years ago. I don't shoot it much, but it doesnt' miss a beat when I do. They aren't very common, I've only seen a couple throughout the years...

Here are a few crappy cell phone pics, it's shinier than it looks. I ordered this brand new, so I know it's factory.

Hmm, I've got a Hi Point .45 that came polished straight from the factory, they did offer that for a short run. I'll see if I can dig up my pics....

Ruger CS has never been used by me, all mine have been flawless, sorry I can't help! Too bad on the LCR, I've got the .38 and love it, never had an issue.

I own the c9 and the JHP 45, love them both and they haven't missed a beat. They are ugly as all get out and heavy as a load of bricks, but I don't think you could find a better gun for the money. Now, I have a Glock 27, xd 40, Ruger LCR and a Ruger MKII, these guns are superior by far, but I...
