So here's the deal. Found out that I will be getting an unexpected bonus from work in a couple of months and Im looking to venture into uncharted territory and get a 1911. Im seeking the sage advice/recommendations of the OB for this purchase.
Here's a few parameters
1. Ambidextrous thumb safety
2. Full size ("5 barrel)
3. Solid stainless steel (no dual tone)
4. Night sights
5. .45 acp
6. $1000-$1250 budget
Anyone have an idea of a 1911 that will fit these parameters?
TIA

This is an outlier company that may take months on a waiting list, but consider a Valtro.

Ed Brown Special Forces model and don't look back. I have an upgraded Executive Elite and it is by far the finest firearm on the planet. As soon as I can save up, I getting another Ed Brown, probably an Executive Carry with the same upgrades as my EE. Here is a not so good pic of my EE.

Dude the options are endless. If you like "different" style guns check out the kimber coverts. I like them alot and i believe they fit that description. Also the springfield armory range officer is a really nice new piece. I would check that out.

This pretty much does not narrow it down at all.

I'll piss some Kimber owners off by saying this, but at your price range, you can get a better gun for the money. And Wilson's are way overpriced.

taurus. Then you can add a few things and make it your own. I dont know why everyone dislikes taurus. Their 1911 line is just fine and comes with many extras built in. Great pistol.
