Once again I say get both, Doublestar M4 at Bud's http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411537957 and one of the best lower price point 1911s, an American Classic http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/49736
+1 Buy once, cry once.....I recommend against buying cheap crap.
Pick one and do it right.
In general, yes. However, I bought a RIA 1911 and it did pretty good at Gunsite. After talking with the head of operations at Rock Island I'm not surprised -- they work hard at quality control, and IIRC they expect (due to statistics they track) that one out of every 2,000 they put out will have a flaw in it.+1 Buy once, cry once.....
Get yourself a Rock Island 1911, decent gun for around $500, then get you a Entry level, Bushmaster or DPMS. Problem solved.
Get a 1911. They can explode tanks. I saw it on a movie once.
