Looking to get a good used one. Last I owned was a Colt series 70 twenty years ago. The landscape has obviously changed since then. Looking for a good shooter.
Any reccomendations would be helpful. This would be used for home defense, not ccw.:gun2:

Isn't this kind of like asking which is better: blonde, brunette or redhead?

All three: redhead :D

Wait, what were we talking about?

Oh yeah... I have a Charles Daly-made ECS (3.5" barrel) from Rijas Services in Claremore, it's worked well for the several hundred rounds shot through it. Not much of an endorsement, but at least initial impressions are decent on this gun.

I have a Kimber Pro CDP and absolutely love it. Great shooter. Extremely accurate. Goes bang every time. It doesn't hurt that it looks great too. I just installed a set of rosewood Crimson Trace grips on it tonight. Can't wait to get back to the range with it. :D

If you search, you can find one of those Colt 1911A1 Commanders for 550-650, a little TLC, a liitle Ed Brown, Wilson, or Clark Custom, and you goy a runner. You can also find those Springfield A-1 Loadeds used, like the Combat, for 700-750.
