it really depends what the OP would use it for....does he want a show piece, carry piece, range piece, or something to throw around and not give a shite about. I have a different answer for all those.


Spill the beans, I'm listening

Try to find a brazil made Springfield. You can get them for $400 or so.

range piece


Really depends if shooting comps or not, but I'll give both. STI Trubor for comps, Springfield range officer or TRP for range use. I could make a list a mile long for the range.

carry piece


Get something in commander size 4", again could literally make a list a mile long. Make sure it has night sights (jmo). Kimber gets a bad rap for no reason lately other than they are the cool thing to hate on.

show piece


Higher end models and I'm heavy on Ed Brown. Wilson's are just as good I just don't like their aesthetics. Nighthawk is the new kid and they are making an awesome name for themselves! Volkmann's are really really nice I just think they are severely overpriced.
