I keep seeing people on here post about 1911s and how great they are, it's made me really interested. I have yet to shoot one myself, but I am now thinking about picking one up.
I've recently become a fan of .45s in general, my Ruger P345 is now my daily carry, both on and off duty, and I can't say enough good things about it.
But now I'm thinking seriously about picking up a 1911 and would like some suggestions. Money is an issue, as my current job situation is uncertain, so I'm looking for a moderately priced, but good quality 1911. I don't mind getting a basic gun and upgrading / having work done on it later as I can.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to look at? New or used doesn't matter to me. What should I look at and what kind of prices should I expect?
Thanks.
