Best out of box 1911 under 1K?

Heck, for a thousand bucks you can probably find a used Les Baer.

If you find a LB for a grand and don't buy it let me know. I'll buy another one for a grand.

Springfield Loaded in SS

Got mine for under $700 NIB. Extremely accurate, reliable, feeds everything and purty as heck. Plus, it doesn't have the billboard on the slide like S&W or Taurus.

I may get completely flammed for this, BUT: I bought a Taurus PT-1911 for under $600 for a "knockaround" 1911 to compliment my Kimber Pro Carry Ten II and custom Colt Delta Elite 1911's. After 1000 rounds with ZERO FTF / FTE and plenty good accuracy, the PT-1911 is my preferred CCW. It's not american, but it runs good, shoots good and has all the extras you usually find on a much higher priced pistol.

P.S. Before calling me names - you may want to look into Clint Smith's opinion of these pistols.

You cannot go wrong with either a Series 70 or 80 Stainless Colt.

1911's are archaic old junk, get Glocks.











JK I love mine.

STI Trojan. But a reliability package will bump it over $1000.

Theres a lot of New Springfields and Kimbers for right under 1k...

Remember you pay for what you get. especially with guns.
