Hey all, I am in the market for a 1911 and, with so many choices out there, am having a hard time choosing which; particularly which manufacturer. I have heard opinions (both good and bad) on the top 3 that I am considering (in no particular order): Springfield-Armory, Para-Ordnance, and Kimber.
I want it to be .45 acp, full-size (8.5" I believe), and stainless with either black or grey grips. Anyone have any suggestions? I really have my eyes on the new Para GI expert and have seen pictures of it on their website in both black and stainless however, it is listed as being only available in black. Does anyone know why this is and whether Para offers the GI expert in stainless?
It has a VERY attractive price...I am also looking at the Kimber Stainless II and the Springfield Armory "Loaded" Target in stainless. If anyone has any experience with the aforementioned models I would greatly appreciate it. Also any suggestions that have not been mentioned are more than welcome. Looking forward to the responses. Thanks in advance!
