That blemished Colt looks great esp for the money. Thats a fine-looking looking pistol.

Best .45 1911 under $1,000
what do you plan to use it for ? Rage toy? Carry gun?
Do you have much experience with 1911?
Best bang for the buck is the SA Ronin package, 1K
another alternative, if you like to tinker is get a decent base gun like a SA mil spec and a little at a time you can replace the sights, beavertail, slide stop, barrel & bushing & grips, if you do the work yourself you can have a badass pistola for ~1K with top notch parts (Wilson, Nighthawk both make pre-fit, drop in parts that are really good to serve this purpose. Get good mags too (wilson 47-D)

Have a look at the kimber next gen. Excellent bang for the buck. Comes optics ready with an external extractor Can be had for 800ish.

I'll sell you a Kimber Ultra CDP II for $1000. It's had less than a box through it.

Look at Magnum Research. Very impressed with them and they are in the 900 to1100 dollar range.

Magnum research 1911’s are made by Bul Armory. Israeli gun maker that has solid products.

If you’re going to add after market parts there isn’t a better platform to start with IMO. I have 12 1911’s (7 Colts and 5 Springers). I only buy series 70 guns. All of Springfield guns are series 70 as well.
Also nothing wrong with buying a plain Jane mil spec and leaving it be.
My next project is a MEUSOC replica.

The TRP’s are great guns. The new 10-8 performance Master Class collab with Hilton Yam is on my list.

Ooh, I like, my cheapness especially likes it compared to the TRP.

The differences is the TRP operator has front strap checking, uses a full length guide rod instead of GI and has a 2 piece magwell. Internal parts are virtually the same. Both are cerakote finish.
TRP is also a little tighter. They aren’t custom fit but the frame and slide are kept together throughout the production process.
