Good evening gang,
I’ve recently decided YOLO and to sell off most of my guns to fund a great 1911. There’s only so many 9mm plastic guns and 5.56 AR’s one dude needs.
Last 1911 was a Rock River Arms Basic Carry I had a few years ago. It was the nicest 1911 I’d had at that point, and I felt I could tell the difference between the Colt Wiley clapp I got sold to fund the RRA (better fit beaver tail, fitting of safety, etc). I ultimately got rid of it because I realized I wanted something nicer, it couldn’t really afford or justify it.
So I’m looking for my 1911 now. And also trying to figure out exactly what I want, and what I can get for $3k. Right now I’m leaning towards an Alchemy Custom Prime, or maybe add a few bucks for the prime elite. I’m leaning towards a 45 acp since I already have magazines and components for reloading. I’m also thinking going with 9mm since I already reload for it, easier to shoot, and the LGS currently has a 9mm Springfield Pro for $2600. I’ve always thought/read for reliability a 5” 45 acp from a reputable manufacturer is the easy button.
Are there any companies I’m overlooking? A few years since I’ve really followed the happenings in the 1911 world, so I’m probably a little out of date.
