For that price point I would look at the Metro Arms American Classic
I've got one of these in the Commander model (4.25" barrel). It's a very nice looking gun. It has a pretty, deep blue finish. The trigger is a little nicer and lighter than the Citadel's. While the Citadel's sights are all black (or actually dark grey...), the AC has three dot sights. When I bought the Citadel, I wanted a compact 1911. The AC version ("Amigo") had just hit the market and was mostly unavailable. The Citadel's been a nice gun, but I like the AC more.
Here are some AC models, including a full size w/ Novak type sights and Beavertail grip safety like in the picture of your OP. LINK =

I know, they are really making a name for themselves.
Fun fact about the Metro Arms, they are made in Colt's old factory in the Philippines
