OK, I'm looking for a 1911 and decided there are many great pistols available but I want something in the cheaper price range and fairly basic for range shooting. I have narrowed the choices down to 4 and I would really appreciate everyone sticking to the choices I list.
The Remington R1 is appealing because it's a Remington. Even though I know this Remington is not the Remington that made the WWII pistols it's still a Remington. It's MSRP is $719
The Springfield Range Officer is also a classic name and this 1911 is really good looking. I think I like it the best but I will have to hold one to really see. It's MSRP is $940
Another good looking 1911 is the Para-USA GI Expert. Para has moved it's operations and manufacturing to America and their first new pistol of the line is the GI Expert. I have shot this pistol and it's a good one. It's MSRP is the lowest @ $599.
Last but not least is the Ruger SR1911. As with all the Ruger products the gun rags are raving about this pistol. It may or may not be as good as they say but it sure does look good. The only problem is, it's only available in Stainless and not Blue. The MSRP is $799.
So, if you were spending your money on a new 1911 and these were the only 4 available which would you buy?
