[QUOTE="CSeverns, post: 3628629, member: 44527"] You don‘t necessarily need to get a Rock Island for an inexpensive 1911 either (although they’re very good for the $, I own 2). MACs and Citadels are also good choices and I think they’re actually made at the same factory in the Philippines that RIs are made. There are also brands like Tisas, Regent, and SDS that are also some decent budget 1911s made in Turkey. All parts are pretty much interchangeable unless you plan on putting a beavertail on a GI model with the regular grip safety. This requires buying a fitting jig and grinding down the GI style frame tangs in the rear because they jut out as opposed to being rounded and contoured like the ones with the beavertail. Since it is your first 1911, it’d seem sacreligous to go with anything other than a full sized government model chambered in .45acp, but that’s just my opinion on it. [/QUOTE]
