Mike, I decided to start a new thread over here to keep things on-topic. As you know I've been researching this 1911 thing for a little while. The problem is, the longer I research, the higher my tastes go. At this point I have seriously shortened my list to three models in the $900 range give or take. (a far cry from the Rock Island or Norinco I was originally looking for)
They are:
SW1911SC
Dan Wesson Patriot Ed Brown Bob-Tail
STI Ranger II
(All Commander sized)
It is not likely I will get to shoot any of these anywhere without buying. In fact the only one I'm likely to be able to fondle in a shop might be the SW.
But with my realization that the 1911 involves some "reach" problems, and that fact that my tastes keep going up and up, I may just be better off forgetting about a 1911 until I hit the lottery and put some money into gettting my High Power worked on a bit.
