$500 bucks to a local fire arms store here in PA. I've been wanting a 1911. I've never bought a handgun all of the ones in my collection is hand me downs from my grandpa (moms side) and dad.

What are some things I should look for in making my purchase. Handgun in general as well. Right now I do have a conceal carry permit.

Are you trying to only use the card or can you tack more of your own on to it, and if so, how much more are you willing to tack on?

You can get a nice 1911 for that price.
I would buy another Sig 1911 myself.

I have only looked online. I don't want to jump on something to quick. I have looked at the colts and kimbers online. Since I would probably not carry it. It would be for pistol shoots mostly

I guess the real question is I have read that modifications are essential to reliability in some cases. What are pitfalls to watch for from certain manufacturers?

Perfection. Some do not like perfection and opt for other manufactures though.
