I'm looking to buy my first 1911 and wondering if there is anything about rail vs. no rail that I don't know about.
The two obvious ones are with a rail I can mount accessories. Not sure I would but at least it's there if I want it.
Without a rail would be sleeker and less prone to catching on anything if I were to carry it on occasion.
Is resale value more for one vs. the other?
Are there any other considerations that aren't obvious or is that about it?
I know this might seem like a dumb question but I've never owned a 1911 so I want to make sure I make the right selection the first time.
Thanks.
