I'm sure we agree on more than that..... and my original comment was not intended to offend anyone personal preferences.... more to my original point, there are a LOT of really amazing gunsmiths building 1911's than can build you something as nice or nicer than the big "names" without the attitude o the price.
So, that dream gun might be closer than you think
You guys are too much LOL. I have a couple of buddies who are semi-pro-caliber photographers. I'll see what I can work out to "do it justice".
I recently purchased a 1944 Ithaca 1911. This is something I have been looking for for a while. I am debating on re-parkerizing the frame as the finish is pretty rough. I have shot it and it shoots really good.
Best $300 i ever spent

This is what I have and it will always be my favorite gun in my collection. I had many opportunities to buy other 1911's but I wanted this one so bad I searched and searched till I found it. I am so glad I did because it has been nothing but accurate and reliable and I love how it looks as well. That being said my next 1911 will most likely be a Wilson Combat but the Sig TTT will always remain my favorite.
How I bought it:
After adding black WC grips:
Speaking of TTT's here is mine with VZ's AND if you look closely, there is my Caspian 1911 barely showing in the pic.

6" stainless, 9mm or 10mm, rounded butt, no cocking serrations, Fusion Firearms style chain link checkering on the front and rear of the grip.
Basically that, but melonited, with a rounded butt, and no serrations.
I'd buy direct and have them customize it, but I've heard questionable things re: quality. That, and I've got other places I keep spending money...

Just bought my Springfield Armory TRP Operator from a fellow green member. For the money, it is hands down one of the best 1911's in my safe. Next for me although technically not a 1911 is a Springfield Armory EMP in 9mm.

I've heard the same from too many people to consider buying from them.
Who else regularly does 6" setups?

Care to explain ?
Poorly built guns, guns not built to spec and awful customer service

I want either an old slightly worn WWII era Colt 1911A1, or something like a Springfield TRP.
I just found a gorgeous Colt on Guns America... for $5K. :-/

Colt M45A1 CQBP would be a great addition
I love my Sig TTT, as it's my first & only 1911. Good gun for the money, but it's not a "custom". It is readily available in the PRM.

Yes it is. I've adapted to a more realistic dream gun. Instead of the No Name I'm now lusting for a Dan Wesson Valor. Seeing how its a few K cheaper it may be more of a reality.
