I need something to shoot my 45

[DocHoliday]

I think I'm getting 1911 fever. I've been getting a good amount of 45 lately and think I need to purchase a handgun to have some fun with the 45 cal. The only thing I have that uses the 45 is S&W Governor but I prefer the 45 Colt. The moon clips are a pain. I'm not looking for something for carry. Looking for something for the conversation club and something for my collection. I prefer to stick around 1,000 or less. I want something reliable and a good track record.

1911 great choice. Several options for <$1000 ... Also love my Ruger SR45

Thanks for the chuckle. Had to look at it twice to make sure I just wasn't tired and reading it wrong.

It has to be a 1911A1. Most popular .45 platform going. For shooting, I would get a full sized Government Model. For carry, I would opt for a 3.5" Officers or maybe the Springfield XDS. There are lot of choices out there for $1000 or less.

Good Shooting!

If you take your time you should be able to find a Colt in that price range...they tend to hold their value.

Did you leave a zero out of your post?

1911 was born to fire the 45 acp,all kind of choices but my personal fave is Springfield Armory

Springfield Loaded or Range Officer comes to mind. Beautiful, accurate, and just under your $1k price range.

Sig P220 Elite

Sig Sauer C3, or several of their other 1911 offerings.

S&W E series 1911 has a few offerings at under $1k or right at it.

Plenty of good choices in .45 in the $1k range.

I love my FNP-45. But if you are wanting a show piece to burn off expensive hard to get ammo... may as well get a tricked out 1911.

I find the 1911 to be a timeless wonder. Clearly when the design thrives for a hundred years its for a reason. The ergonomics, grip angle, weight and a a quality trigger win me over every time I hold one. I like the Remington model and love reading about the Ruger as well.

Yes, I did leave a zero out. thanks!
