I am a relatively inexperienced guy with 1911s, and that is what I want to get for my first firearm. I've done a lot of searching on my own, but I am leaving myself at the mercy of the forum to figure out what I am going to settle on., and I'm looking at around the $2K price range.
I know that I can get a great, lower-priced 1911 from Springfield and they have some good upper end models, as well. And there are Kimbers for only a little bit more. However, I am really looking into a Wilson Combat CQB. I don't mind paying extra for it, as I am extremely interested in it. Some people have told me to go with a Les Baer, but I just don't like the feel of them, and that's very important to me. What do you guys think? I need some ideas I haven't thought of myself yet.
Details:
I will CCW this pistol, at times.
I will eventually compete IDPA with it.
I am willing to pay more for quality and great customer service.
PS- I used a Beretta 92FS for 4 years in the army, and owned a Glock 27 for a few months, if this has any bearing. I didn't like the lack of power in the 9mm. And in the glock I didn't like the small grip.
