Hey guys,
Been here a while but this is my first post. I've recently started looking at 1911 pistols, mainly to keep at home and for the range. I am completely overwhelmed with the volume of companies that offer a 1911 pistol, as well as the large price range. If we set my budget to $800-$1,100, which manufacturers would I be looking at? I'd like to find a high quality pistol with excellent durability and construction, without all the "high end" features that add exponentially to the cost and little to the function. Basically, if it comes down to a top of the line pistol from a lesser manufacturer or an entry level pistol from a higher quality manufacturer, I would choose higher quality and skip some features. Who do you recommend and which models? Thanks, looking forwards to being here,
Eric
