So a friend of mine is looking to buy a 1911 in .45 ACP. He has the money to buy a nice Springfield or even a Kimber but he is stuck on keeping his budget as close to $500 as he can. We have been looking at the Para G.I. Expert which seems to be pretty decent for the price. Also looking at Legacy Sports/Citadel 1911-A1. We have also considered a Rock Island Tactical model and even Taurus but not greatly. None of these come with night sights or adjustable sights but He would like to upgrade someday so he needs a model with a changeable front sight. I would like to hear of some personal experiences from someone who owns one of these pistols. Let me know of any other 1911's one could pick up realistically for 475-600 bucks.
Later I will be posting asking for advice on a 1911 for me but I will be willing to spend a little more money, perhaps on a Springfield, Kimber or STI but please try to keep this aimed towards lower priced brands.
