help me pick the right 1911

In that case, I'd look at the STI Spartan as a starter gun. It comes with adjustable sights and you should be able to add the accessories as you need.

You might also check out the new SA Range Officer. It might be just what you want.

Many 1911 people agree with you.

Yeah the Range Officer does look appealing.

I checked out Cabelas online. Doesnt seem to have anything i want. So i will probably not go and just keep searching locally.

I love the help yall are giving!

I actually was going to get the Range Officer until a 9mm Trojan came along I couldnt pass up. It seems to be a pretty solid gun with good potential.

 

[SVT Bansheeman]

Yeah it seems like a great gun for what I want. It will probably be what I get. However if something local comes up worth my money, it's mine

Faster I get one, faster I can take my CC class

The STI Spartan will fit your needs. And only cost about half of what you said your limit is. The trigger parts are top quality and any decent smith can get the trigger pull where you want it. The Smith and Alexander magwell/mainspring housing will be hard to beat.

Good point. No sense in spending money for nothing. Ill be hitting up Houma Auto parts soon. Ill see how much they can get a Spartan and other models im interested in.

My Spartan was super tight when I got it and still is after 5000+ rounds. When I get a gun, I "shoot it like I stole it". I don't have any safe queens. Have 2 STI's now and having a third built right now. STI backs their products and they support the shooting sports.

those magwells look nice, affordable too. What is the difference between regular and grizzly?

 

[scooterj]

I'll have to assume that the Grizzly model fits these: http://grizzlypistol.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-1911-design-works.html

See Calvin at Houma Autoparts

Called them today, guess they were closed. Oh well, they lost a gun sale today, went to Academy and bought me a new glock

I shall see when it's time to fork over the money to get a 1911. I will check them out for sure.

Done a lot of research' I bought a RCS 1911 Sig. Officer frame and commander slide. Awesome gun! 2 inch groups at 10 yards. And I'm the average Joe! Can't beat a 1911 and add Magsafe swat loads and you have a one hell of a self defense weapon. I walk around with a smile on my face-no one knows what I'm carrying.
