I've kicked around the idea of a new 1911 before, but I don't know what company to look at first. My very first pistol was a Colt 1911, but from what I read it doesn't sound like Colt's are what they used to be by any measuring stick. My next thought was to look at Springfield, but after that whole Illinois fiasco I don't really feel like spending any money with them for now.
Currently, I've got a springfield loaded parkerized that I'm very happy with. I really wouldn't change a thing other than I wouldn't mind having a rail on it, and I wouldn't mind getting a 1911 that was tuned for accuracy. With Colt, and Springfield out I thought my next options would either be a kimber, or a Wilson combat if I really wanted to drop some coin.
As far as what I'm looking for I like the looks of the Colt M45A1, and the springfield TRP.
Any thoughts on this? Are Colt & Springfield ok these days and I've been reading the wrong information?
