    What would you get? Kind of a dreamer thread I have to many irons in the fire to jump down the 1911 rabbit hole, but I'm tempted daily...

    I'm thinking the 10mm SA TRP

    I to am tempted by this new offering but I am a dyed in the wool SA guy. The TRP has a serious list price in the $1700 range but that is MSRP.
    Those pushing the DW can not be argued with but those are well north of your budget.

    My 1911 journey took me from Colts, to (many) Kimbers, a few Sigs, and finally Dan Wessons are all that remain. I was headed to purchase a Les Baer when I fell in love with the Dan Wessons. I've also had a Wilson and NightHawk, but have moved both of those on as I felt they were too nice to carry/shoot anyway. The DW just falls into the sweet spot for me.

    As for cost, if you watch you can pick up a barely used DW in your price range. I think the A2 guns are a lot of gun for a good price. I have less than $1K in my A2 commander, which was used lightly.

    I have a friend with a Less Baer. We both shot that and my Valor side by side with the same ammo. He sold his LB and bought a DW Specialist.

    I'm still trying to talk Relford into letting me know when he's at Indy Arms so we can do a comparison between his WC and the Valor.... truth be told, I just want to try out the WC.
