As far as 1911s go, I have only ever owned a Rock Island "tactical" model. My son recently turned 21 and I gave this pistol to him. I had not done much to it other than put some VZ "alien" grips on it. I really liked this pistol and had picked it up on sale a few years ago for $399.00 brand new.
My question is...Same budget (under $500 anyway), any suggestions? Looking at a Shooters Arms Manufacturing "Elite". On sale for $399.00. I realize MA is another Philippine company. On the budget I have set, it appears my purchase will be either PI or Turkish.
Just looking for a decent quality, good shooting 1911 with a beavertail that meets my budget.
