I consider myself fairly up to date on 1911 builders, and until I did a little research, I thought double star only made AR’s. If I were looking to buy a 1911 in the $1400-$2200 price point, it dang sure wouldn’t be a Double Star. As has been mentioned, you can get a really nice Dan Wesson in that price range, but if you shop around, you should be able to find a good clean low mileage semi custom like a Les Baer or Wilson Combat in that price range.Dan Wesson builds a really nice 1911, but contrary to internet lore, they ARE NOT in the same league as semi customs like Baer, Brown, and Wilson.
