Thinking about a 1911, what should I know first?

Lots of good comments already. I'd just say it's a bit more complicated as far as safeties and such than say a glock. Some folks think it's no big deal or even better, some might like the simplicity of a striker fired trigger safety pistol.
 
They are great pistols. I have four. My stepbrother and FiL and I all own different versions which cost less than $400 apiece and function perfectly. They are more accurate than I expected before I owned one, and have less recoil than I expected.

I had shot one once, many years before, when I finally purchased one. I had absolutely zero problems shooting or field stripping it. You will love it.
 
Holsters?

Milt Sparks 1 1/2" Gun Belt / IWB single mag carrier
Carry IWB Summer Special 2
& OWB #Axiom
& #Mirage = OWB but inside the belt, it's also Ambi
covers only the trigger/slide muzzle exposed
so it works for any length slide

I'm off to the range this AM, inside range in Lewiston ID

Thank you for all the replies!

So I may have the opportunity to snag a Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail for $1,300.

I am really leaning that way. I like the look and extra conceal-ability of the rounded corner.

Thoughts?

Thanks again!

In my opinion, you could not choose a better brand! I love my VBOB!
