My local FFL has a bunch of off-list 1911's he's willing to SSE. I really don't need another 1911 but sometimes when you have that itch....this gun will be strictly a range toy and I don't plan to shoot competitively with it (have other options there). I also want to keep the OTD $$$ to $1K or less. So help me out CG!

Of those listed I prefer Springfield. I have a few in my collection.
If you are going to pay for SSE, what is your budget? I would try and get something more rare like a Dan Wesson.

Please tell me what FFL has a Range Officer in stock. I would love one as a base for a build.I voted against Obama before it was cool.
Originally posted by 1911LuvrI beg to differ. The full length dust cover rail makes a world of difference in the "when I run out of bullets I'm going to beat you to death with the pistol" look that causes bad guys to run in fear, and lesser men to feel inadequate. It looks just plain beastly and the extra heft up front does help manage recoil a bit better. Plus, an angel told me that when God called JMB to heaven it was to build him a full rail 1911!Comment

I love my remington r1! The carry enhanced versions of the remington are awesome from the ones I've seen!Stay Low, Go Fast, Take ChancesComment

I can't comment on any of you choices besides the R1, so I'm not going to say one is better than the others. I will say I love my R1 though.Comment

If you are serious about your decision, you will read this. The guy is a renowned 1911 gunsmith and a master of his craft.

Get a SIg 1911 at that budget. Better than any you listed.Comment

If I had the money this Dan Wesson Specialist would be what I would get. But I think the OP wants one OTD for $1K or less... This gun would probably cost around $2K with tax and DROS.Of those listed I prefer Springfield. I have a few in my collection.
