re: Looking for a budget 1911

Havent read the entire thread yet but I know RRI and Spartan to be decent for cheap.

KR, Which do you prefer. I want a pure range 1911 and dont want to spend Kimber money again.

For everybody, this might be a thread hijack but something I have been thinking about. Everybody talks about when they get a new CC pistol they want to shoot thousands of rounds through it to ensure that it is reliable. Well, most modern firearms are. I am under the mind set that I go to the range and shoot a few hundred rounds through mine and its good to go. I figure that a gun that is 99% reliable is better than no gun at all. Also, I go to the range at least once a month to practice and fine tune my already excellent shooting skills (joke). These range trips are adding a hundred rounds each time and further proving its reliability.

So basically, why are people such snobs when it comes to their CC gun? Or should I become said snob?
