I looked around at 1911s today. Once I get the money, I'm gonna get one.
I was looking for opinions and reviews on some brands though.
I looked at Kimber Custom II and a classic, two Para Ord. (GI expert and the P14-45 double-stack), and a Springfield loaded.
For uses, it would possibly be for carry, range, possible HD, and for getting me into a customizable handgun platform (I have an AR that I love too much, so I might as well get a handgunning platform to do the same to).
I'd prefer to keep it full-sized, have a nice/decent trigger (if it beats a Glock trigger, then I'll be happy), a spur hammer, beavertail grip, and eat everything I can feed it.
If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm trying to keep my budget at less than or around $800 at the worst. I'd also like to hear why some people aren't particularly sold on Kimber or why people suggest that people avoid Para like it's the plague.
