Which sub $1000 1911?

[chocktaw2]

I was in your position about 4 years ago. I did my research on ALL the sites and read nearly every forum that dealt with the 1911. I went to the gun shows and gun shops and handled every brand I could, even the ones out of my price range. I finally bought a Desert Eagle 1911G and I am now looking for another for my wife. When we're out shooting, I never get to shoot mine. The biggest selling point, for me, was the factory trigger on all the DE 1911s I tried. To me, they are better than anything else on the market in your price range. You'll even have money left to buy ammo.

IMHO ruger SR line or the sig 1911 line. Both great for the price point.

After MUCH looking, not sleeping,self-debating- decided to order this item from these guys. I think I've lost my mind. I was completely out of the .45 game but I got sucked back in!

Looks like it might be a good piece. I have heard some positives on these beyond the bad revues on other models. Hope you enjoy it.

I notice that the description says that it can't be sold in California? What makes the most basic century-old pistol illegal in California?

Manufacturers have to submit samples for testing and approval in California, most manufacturers only submit a few variations for testing.

Even for versions of the exact same firearm?

Yep. It’s a different model number, then Commifornia sees it as a completely new gun. It’s really just a tactic to make it as difficult as possible to bring guns to market in Cali.

and money. they charge the manufacturer a boatload of money to evaluate each model, or at least that is what I have read before.

Always a pay off at some level. Always.

If I were looking to spend that much, I would be looking for A Used Kimber, prefer an older one before they become more massed produced. I've shot SA, Rugers, Colts, DW, and I just always loved the Kimber's.
