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?

It really depends on the person. It isn't necessarily "snobbish" though. There are a lot criteria for a CC gun: light weight, thinness, round capacity, holster type, etc. Some guys are alright with carrying a full sized 1911 and some aren't. I don't carry a 1911 because they weigh a ton. They make some lighter ones with lighter frames but why do that when I have a tiny Kahr CM9 and a Ruger SR9c that both do the job?
Also, people may be snobs about what they carry because they trust their lives with them. At least that's my reasoning. It's a strong dependence on your carry piece.

The Spartan is a lot better than a Rock Island. The only part of the Spartan that is not American made is the frame. It's MIMed somewhere else. Still, the parts are fitted in America at STI in Texas. They do a hell of a job.
