Which sub $1000 1911?

[churchmouse]

Standard Manufacturing makes a very nice 1911 for the price!

They do. Both of mine are top shelf right out of the box. I did do some polishing in the ignition controls just because. Well, because I just can not help myself.
Consider one if the budget allows something along the DW price point.
The blue finish is insane and the pic does not do it justice. I put the pimp grips on it.....

The High Nickel finish on this one is amazing. Fit up and operation are on par with any 1911 in the price point. I did the grips on this one also.

CM - What’s a “high Nicole” finish??



That keyboard is really giving it to you this week isn’t it?

The opposite of a "low Nicole" finish of course.

Either way Nicole has really nice grips!

The finish she applies after smoking a bowl of Kush.

Does it autocorrect to Nicole often?






If it does, you are typing it too often.

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.

Well we really do not want to go there on a discussion about triggers.

If you like that offering great. They do offer up a fair 1911. Hope you get many thousands of rounds enjoyment from that piece.

Hey CM, can we see a pic of the passenger side of the blued one. Been thinking about that one or the blued engraved one.

I am in a love hate thing with them. I love the guns. I hate management.
For the money you will not find a better 1911.
This is why I buy used if I can find a good one and I have found several good ones lately for decent money.

Yes you have.

Sure. When I get home to my laptop. If I tried from this IPad things would blow up.

 

[churchmouse]

So I am guessing you like yours

Yes you have.

I wish the camera would do the finish on this gun Justus. It is seriously beautiful.

Thanks for the pic. Wasn't sure I would like the roll mark. Looks better than their website pics. And yes, the blueing is beautiful!

wiped this one with a slightly oil reg. That is the streaking you see in the pic. The fit/finish on these rivals anything else I have found in the price point. They run well and are dead on accurate.
I will say the basic function of the Nickel one is just a bit "Slicker" than the blued one. It takes a discerning touch to even begin to notice it but yes it is there. Might settle in with some more rounds. Even at that it is still better than my TRP's. By a bit.

Don't know yet, need to find a place to shoot.

Hilarious.

Hope that this is OK. I went back and put a haze filter on the photo..... I think it helps the finish show it's true beauty a bit better.
but yeah,, it's a tricky finish to photograph, and although the silicon rag removes fingerprints, it also takes away from the shininess.
I think this photo is a little better ?!?!

For a 1911 right at 1K this one I found might be the best bargain in awhile. It's based on a SPFD Trophy Match. The TM hasn't been made in awhile but these are two-tone and have actual Kart barrels installed. It's not a catalog item so maybe semi-custom shop? Either way not bad for 999.00.
