SpeedAKL,
Let me tell you what may lie ahead....
You are going to want a slightly more compact version and will find a "commander" size gun you absolutely must have.
And then you will get your concealed carry permit and wonder whether a compact 3" 1911 might make for easier carry.
And then you are going to conclude that shooting beats reloading and find that 1911s also come in 9mm, which is much less expensive than .45, particularly when purchased in lots of 1000 (which you will find does not last very long).
And then the 9mm "commander" is next (lightweight and steel frame)...
And then a subcompact 1911 9mm....
And then someone will tell you about the coolest 9mm 1911 of all time, the Springfield EMP, and that it ONLY costs $1000 or so....
And that is if you just stick with the 1911 platform. I won't even tell you what you will want to buy when you expand your interests into the areas of DAO, safe action, and DA/SA firearms...
I am 53, own in excess of 40 handguns, and still have not run out of handguns I absolutely NEED!

Ps: Did I mention last month's acquisition? A cool AR-24....full size. And I bet their compact size might make a nice carry gun....I might just need to take a look.
