Thinking of getting a 1911

I like my kimber, but if I had to do it again, I'd buy a different brand. If Ruger had released the SR1911 while I was looking, that's probably what I would have bought. Come to think of it, it'll probably be my next gun purchase.
SR1911/R1 Enhanced
I wouldn't look for any Crapbers.

I'd go for the Rem R1 enhanced... Beautiful 1911. Absolutely love mine.
Originally I wanted the Ruger SR1911, but glad I couldn't find one... Too many reports & reviews of sights breaking off, rust on the stainless models... But then again, those that its happened to still say they love them.
Happy with my R1 enhanced... And zero issues with it. Can't say I've heard anybody complain about them. In fact, there were 3 at the pin shoot today.
ETA: if it make a difference to you, the Ruger is based on the Series 70, and the Remington is based on the Series 80.

I have a Rock Island Armory 1911A1 Government model. It is their Tactical II FS model, ambi safety, extended beaver tail, and great sights.

Kimber is overpriced for what it is. I had one and sold it. It's nothing special.
I'd go with the Ruger- just as good as a S&W and you have money left over for some customizations. That's the best part of a 1911 anyway...
Won't be for carry, just a range toy.

I was looking at a Ruger the other day but can't find a dealer that has Sigs in stock.

I am selling an awesome Colt Combat Commander. I was asking a little more but Im feeling generous so I would take 900 from you. Lot of work done- series 70- day night sights- new trigger- beaver tail grip safety added by Derr. PM if interested....
Yeah...
If I ever acquired the SR1911, I would replace the sights immediately. I'm currently drooling over the SA Range Officer.

And...we're off.
Speak on it, troll.
I have had zero malfunctions of any kid out of my SR1911. It has run 100%. Are you a troll everyday, or is this month extra special?

If you like it rusting and parts falling off buy the ruger.
If you like a basic more gi style 1911 a r1 basic is one of the best .

Dude, be serious. I mean really.
Scroll back to where I said my Government has been 100%.
Remington is junk, and they take pay outs by the .gov to stay in NY.
Remington can go bankrupt and suck it.

Only problem I had with the r1 is it being all black it was way too Killy for me .
For real tho, only problem I've had was a bur on the mag release took 5 mins to fix.

No malfunctions, just bad ammo, right?
OP, buy a Sig P220. It's in your price range and a much better, more reliable gun.
No, not bad ammo. No malfunctions, FTF, FTE etc etc etc. NOTHING. What's so hard to understand? 100% reliable.
Could not have said it better.
