My dad has one of these and I was not impressed with it at all.

Don't like taurus. Cheap guns, but if I were on a budget, they will get the job done. I'll never ridicule someone on their choice of weapon.

Only curious, never handeled one, price was was cheaper than I expected online. Contemplating a 1911, just starting to look, don't really even have a budget yet. Thanks for the heads up though.

No problem, if you wanna go cheap. And when I say cheap 550-700 range I would get a metro arms American classic.

Probably in that area, up to 1k if I wanted to buy now.

Look at the Springfield Range Officer for something under the cost of the big three: Colt. Kimber. Les Baer.

Those three couldn't be any more different when it comes to manufacturing 1911's

King Ranch has spoken...
LOVE my Kimber Pro Carry. The ONLY negative for me is the little tool needed for takedown. I am fairly ignorant and that tool may be needed for many 1911's, I just don't care for needing a tool to field strip any weapon.
Having said that, when I buy another 1911, it will probably be a Kimber.

I have Kimber Custom Crimson carry II
The colt slide feels a little Mickey Mouse to me. Wilson Combat is a very nice gun...but very pricey as well. Ruger makes nice gun for the price.

That's a good one to start with if you want to add some sort of light source. It already has the integrated rail.

KR, just curious, why all the love to Kimber? I've always considered them a good at everything great at nothing 1911.

Truthfully...I've always liked the way they look.

I would agree they have some really good looking ones in their lineup. I guess if you want a conversation piece this is perfect but if you are buying a protection piece I think they do leave a little to be desired.

i'm pretty sure they go bang when you pull the trigger.
