FAK!!! Lol you Guys show me the sweet colts that I can't afford lol Springfield is my price range and as a new 1911 owner what should be my starting point

Kimber, Sig Sauer & certain Springfields are priced around $1k give or take couple of $100-200.

I tried a fellow Calgunner's Kimber Custom II... pretty darn good for the price.

I wouldn't spend less than the $800-900 or so to pick up a Sig 1911 XO or a Kimber Custom II (those are pre-panic prices though). Then, if you were me, you'd end up spending another coupla hundred dollars for the mandatory night sights and installation. Oh, and don't forget the 'mags and the 'ammo; the true expense in any gun is in the 'mags and the 'ammo, as it's relatively expensive and you will always be buying those things...

What's the price range BNIB of Springfield TRP tactical I'm also conserned about the void in lifetime warranty from 2nd owners?

I've been told that SA will still honor the warranty even tho its not supposed to be transferrable. I have yet to put that to the test tho (I hope I won't have to).

What area are you located in? I've been seeing some Springfield 1911's starting show up at the local gun stores in my area. $999 for a SA 1911 Loaded full size in blue at Guns Direct Burbank just a few days ago. Gun World in Burbank has pretty much the whole line but roughly MSRP. Smokin' Barrel in Simi has a bunch too, not sure on prices though.

Congratz on the Les Baer! I've still got at least 9 months, 19 days and 23 hours before it's done...

That wait would kill me! At least you have a Springer to keep you occupied until then. What did you order? What options?

Turner's will never admit to it, and I don't recommend it, but I've seen people stretch their layaways to 8 months...

"1911 itch" Scratch it!

[DArBad]

Any quality 1911 should alleviate the itch.

+1.

Get the 1911 that suits you. Different Hands, Different Taste.

As long as the 1911 is made/assembled in the USA, you are GTG.

What about the KIMBERS how do they fare with Springfields

[UCOLA]

just scratched my itch and jailed a Colt Xse Government 1911 BNIB for under 1k, hope I like!!!
Feel free to give me some feedback on my SPF!

Can't go wrong with a Colt 1911... I mean it's a Colt the original 1911. Well, not that specific 1911. But just the original company that made 1911s.

Congrats.... That itch will return.
