    Get on GB and see what you can scare up, at defense ranges even on old Argie/Colt works well.

    I agree with several others here. I'd buy used with the $700 in mind. CM looks to be pointing you perfectly per the usual.

    I picked up a Springfield Range Officer and it turned out to be a far better shooting handgun than I ever expected for a 1911 in its price range.

    I have one. It was Meh to OK out of the box but my standards may be skewed.

    After a serious turn around it is pretty sweet.

    Look around for a used RO as stated up thread.
    If your looking for a gun that runs and shoots and cycles any darn thing out there Ruger 1911 is a great carry. If your looking for a bullseye handgun look elsewhere. The Range Officer is a great 1911 as well.

    You might try "gun tests .com" they wring out the test guns, and give a good appraisal of them. From a $399 Rock island GI model, to $3000 semi custom pieces. It all depends on what you're going to do with it!!:ingo:
