Hey all,
After reading so much on the forum I finally registered and now I have a question of my own. I searched for some of the previous threads posting this question but prices and supply fluctuates so damn much these days.
So, I'm in the market for my first 1911 and I've been doing tons of research on a good starter 1911. I'm basically torn between a Springfield Mil-Spec stainless and a Rock Island tactical stainless. I like the classic look of the mil-spec and am hoping to upgrade to a beavertail, skeleton hammer and skeleton trigger. Does anyone have an idea how much those three upgrades would cost? Or where to find a decent priced Springer mil-spec? Thanks! Any input on a first 1911 with either simple tactical upgrades or a vanilla stainless I can upgrade for less than an arm and a leg would be helpful!
