If you had $1000 and wanted a 1911 what would it be?

S&W 1911 would be my choice in that price range.

VBOBs are WAY out of that $1K price range and in their respective price range there are now better choices like Les Baer. There's not a mass exodus of former Colt owners running to pay these prices either.

In the $1K price range I'd try to find a Used Springfield TRP. A step up from S&W and Kimber. I'd also look at an STI Trojan or a Colt.

2 commander sized Rock Island Armorys and the rest on ammo.

Or a Springfield EMP 9mm.

I got a sw1911 and wouldn't trade it for anything! Ive shot alot of 1911's and figured I'd give sw a try. I will never buy another!

I talked to my guy that sells me guns he said $844 to my door on the Cold Combat commander but he can't find any they are back ordered is this true?

Usually, Mark's firearms of this board has those in stock. Might wanna hit him up.

Nice to know I'm not the only one ;-)

Another Kimber owner here. 3" Ultra CDP ii. So far a couple hundred rounds and not a single hiccup.

Though I've only shot 2 other 1911s before and this is the only 1911 I own, so my 1911 experience isn't as robust as others here. Still, I'm happy with mine so far and would definitely consider another Kimber.

Whats the $ on that gun Dan? Very nice!

right at 1k dependingon where you buy.

There is a seller that keeps relisting one of these on Gunbroker. lists it starting at $1029.00. I've seen it several times now. I have also watched one not hit a reserve and bids got up to 780.

The combat model(non adjustable sites and different grips) can be had in the 800 range.

I'll be buying mine new from a local dealer. Just have to decide who is going to get that sale.
