Looking for a 45 acp 1911, with a shiny, polished finish. What's the cheapest one? Brand doesn't matter.

Best bet is going to be finding the cheapest 1911 you can and having it hard chromed or nickel plated.

- On Roster or not ?
- full size (5" barrel) or compact (4" or less barrel) ?

For a cheap (in price but not in quality) 1911 check RIA and Springfield.
Good luck.

I think Springfield has a nickel 1911 on roster for less than 1k. If you're in the Bay Area, Peninsula Guns had one in stock.

On roster, and full size.

SA Loaded. Sig has a stainless model, but isn't too shiney or polished. RIA has a nickel plated model. Hard to find though. Kimber has a stainless as well. Not too shiney though.

The only 'shiny' 1911 on roster is the nickel RIA 38 super.

Send any 1911 to these guys

$300 later you have a nice hard chrome finish

I would purchase the one you want and some mother's polish and make it shine yourself. Nothing is sexier than a high polished blue 1911 or revolver.
