Sorry if this has been discussed before but I didn't find anything in my search.
So I want to stay within the $700-850 range and am looking for a subcompact 1911 in 9mm. I would like the capacity to be at least 8 and don't care if its double or single stack. What do you guys think? This would be a daily carry and will get plenty of care-free use which is why I don't want to go into the thousand+ territory for a nicer gun as it will inevitably become a safe queen. I basically want a good, reliable, but not crazy expensive 1911 that will get the job done and not make me cringe with every scratch.
My search has pointed me to a few options from kimber, citadel, and used paras but no experience with any. Don't care about compliance BS so any brand is fair game. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. Would prefer a blued or matte black finish but I have an open mind...
