    1911 question

    Buying a safe and sane firework is like paying a hooker for a hug. I do not see the appeal in it.

    Get a Dan Wesson or a Les Baer but these are both over $1K. Closer to $1.5-$2K depending if you buy new or used. Maybe look at a Sig Target or a Super Target 1911.

      Nothing wrong with the Springfield Loaded, they are shooters for sure. You cant go wrong.

          Money would be better spent on an RIA

          And to the OP, the parkerized Loaded is a great gun!

            Since you already have an RIA, and are roster exempt, I’d seriously consider saving up and getting a Dan Wesson. Like the RIA is a great value for the money so is the DW. The lower priced Springer is fine but why get something you pretty much already have?

                          Springfield quality & QC is not what it used to be. Research it. Spend the 2-300 more and get quality

                            RIA in the same sentence as WC and Nighthawk?? Your friends' guns probably just needed to be properly broken in.

                              If you’re exempt, get a colt. The Springfield’s are nice, but colts are special.
