I'm looking for a 1911 now, and I'm trying to be sure that I make the right decision. While I would love to get a genuine Colt, I don't think or know if it's possible to do so affordably. I may have to "settle" for a Springfield, but there's nothing wrong with that (if there is, tell me...)
I like the following models:
PW9108LP
PB9108LP
Which would be considered the most "genuine" old WW2 style? The "mil-spec" and "GI" stuff mixes me up...
Also, I see the prices for these in the 500-600 range, which is just about right. But is it possible to get them for that price? Is there a shop around Indy that has these brand new? Do you know of a more genuine version of a 1911, possibly Colt, that is in my range (max $800)?
Thanks for any input!
