Cheapest 1911 ramped barrel gun

[warren5421]

I’m looking for the least expensive production ramped barrel.45 ACP 1911. STI’s The Trojan 5.0 MSRPis $1335.00 makes for about $1250 out the door.

I know that there are parts suppliers that I could buy Frame, Slide, and etc. but I don't know their name.

The 3-4 main 1911 manufacturers don't list a ramped barrel in their products. I don't want to get into the $2500-$3000+ pistols. At that price I will go with a custom build getting the bells and whistles I want.

Try Brownell's or Midway, they have lots of 1911 parts.

I know Para Ordnance double stacks have a ramped barrel, but I am not sure about their single stacks. You might check with them at para-usa.com!

Just a thought, not like I know anything about gun parts or gunsmith work, but you usually tend to get what you pay for. The cheapest may not be the best when you have to replace it with the more expensive one after a short time.
Just a thought. Good luck to you.

A ramped barrel for 45 ACP is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

Yup.

But if you want a ramped barrel, STI is the way to go. I love love love my Sentry.

Works as good as my non-ramped TRP, but with a few more features.

I agree in .45 Ramped has no advantage over non ramped

I don't see an advantage in the ramped barrel but I'm bumping 68 and just want one. I have been a Colt fan just about for ever. All my 1911 keepers have been Colt except for an STI Perfect 10. I have never been a fan of Kimber. Shot them some, but from the time they came on the market and had growing pains I never wanted one. Springfields come and go along with Sig and S&W. You notice only one ramped barrel.

My Kimber Ultra Carry had a ramped barrel. I paid $780 for it a couple of years back.

para ordnance would be a good choice for the money, if you have a 1911 you could have a ramped barrel fit to the gun, it involves milling out the frame, i perfur a ramped barrel, though it is true you really dont need one, but id say its better to have one feed ramp on the barrel them have two, one on frame, and one on barrel. if they werent better they wouldnt be on glocks and sigs..........
