Best 1911 for 1000.00 or less

[sparkyguy]

Springfield Loaded in SS

Mine, of course.

Paid $699 then added the buffalo bone grips from ebay for another $40. Shoots like a dream, feeds everything and is more accurate then I am right out of the box. Plus, it doesn't have that stupid billboard like on S&W or Taurus 1911's.
