OK enough of the G**** crap. Mouse never jumps in a G**** thread and says go 1911. Uncool people.
Bro you already know I am a 1911 guy. The thread makes no sense at all. The OP literally says he knows about high end 1911’s. If you know about high end 1911’s then you should ultimately know that at the $600 and below price point there are better weapon system to be had. IMO this is not a debatable subject.
He also didn’t say tell me about best sub $600 base gun or slide and frame to buy to eventually built or mod.
Being a 1911 guy, I’ve just seen way to many people show up to train with these kind of gun and all they do is fail and over. Then they complain and other non 1911 guys see this, and think “all 1911’s suck”. It’s because a 1911 isn’t a gun that realistically should be priced at $600 bucks. To properly build a 1911 is not something that can be done for $600.
As a side note, I’m not talking about going to the range and just shooting a few hundred rounds either. If that’s then fine... as mentioned grab an SR1911 or RIA and call it a day.
oh I get it I really do. and I agree with your opinion. My point is just roll with it. In doing so we can expose the truth. The truth being that cheap buying practices are not what a gun owner should be focused on. Especially with a 1911.
I have been up and down this path so many times with friends and people in general buying into the sub $600 1911 thing.
If that is your budget and you lack patience to save up a bit longer then look in the used market. Right now we are seeing some stellar deals out there

The best 1911 under $600 will be used/pre-owned.
