M1911 recommendations

Honestly, if you've never had a 1911 before, I would highly recommend Springfield Armory. They have some of the BEST customer service in the country. If you're looking for the complete package, I would recommend the Range Officer. It's got everything you need. And you can find one new for ~$750.

If the adjustable rear sights aren't your thing, and need forward cocking serrations...then I would recommend their Loaded model. On the street ~$825.

You can also opt for their Mil-Spec, it's more "basic" and no-frills, and is MY favorite. I like customizing mine, so it offers the perfect platform for that...and is just as well put-together as my TRP full-rail.

Yes, I'm a Springfield fanboi. I've owned an ATI 1911, and borrowed a Kimber from a friend to test drive...and they don't hold a candle to my Springers.
