I suspect this question has been asked a million times but here goes anyway.
I am a Glock guy and have an itch for the new G30S, a gun with the narrow G36 slide sitting on a G30SF receiver. I like Glock's a lot but my wife (G26 EDC) cannot handle the recoil of a G30. But she fell in love with a Colt Commander during CCW qualification.
So while I’m blowing my budget, I decided to explore a 1911 instead for about $700, out the door with tax and tritium night sights… If this is even possible. I can get the G30S (probably) for $491 through GSSF, $85 for sights, about 10% tax and the annual membership for GSSF. This gun will probably fit my G23 EDC holsters so all that's left after that is some dies ($35) and components for reloading.
I don't expect an upscale piece for this price but feel like there must be something decent in my price range. Any suggestions?
