Since I cannot afford a 1911 with a good reliability history (Other than the Springfield GI which is missing alot of things I want in a 1911), I have been looking at other autoloaders, even *gasp* polymer pistols. Now I love the feel of the 1911 and I like the grip saftey. So far a cheap alternative seems to be the Springfield XD ( I may even get it in 9mm I'm so poor... hehe). Can anyone suggest something else that feels like a 1911 and is reasonably priced?
Note: Not a GLOCK fan, nothing against Herr Gaston, just no mi gusta the ergonomics. Love the SIGs I've shot but they're bloody expensive for a college student. In a 1911 I like beavertails, bull barrels, and ramped barrels, but the beavertail more than the other two. Anything I'm missing?
Note 2: Would I be better off to get a GI lightweight 4" and then Mod it as I go?
Also, will the GI fire JHP's reliably?~Nathan
