There are probably more 1911's on the market these days than I have hair on my chest (I'm Greek so that's a lot). There are so many applications for 1911's so there really is no universal "good" 1911 that stands above all others. So rather than look for an impossible answer I'd rather hear your opinions as to why you like a curved mainspring housing to a flat one, why you'd like target sights over novak sights, why you like a full length guide rod over a GI length guide rod. You guys catch my drift? I know this is still a broad question, but let's just say, for the sake of conversation, I'm talking about a target 1911 or a carry 1911(from what little I know about the weapon itself a match bushing and a tight barrel lockup make it far more accurate, and no I don't know what any of that means). Feel free to build your own custom 1911 from the ground up.
