I liked my RIA tactical. For the money it was a great 1911.

I really enjoy my two-toned tactical as well!!

Springfield mil-spec is a good jumping off point. This platform will get you started and is great out of the box, better sights than the gi, and is easily customized later down the road.

Back to NOT breaking the bank- RIA, Taurus, American Classic, American Tactical Imports, the new Ruger if you can find it. 100% made in America, and Ruger honours their warranties

sadly, technically, ruger doesn't have a warranty.

Right, some people have bigger banks than others.

The Mil-spec was my first 1911 and it is a great introduction.

For the price the Taurus isn't really all that bad. Our dept. had to qualify one night and another fellow brought his NIB Tuarus 1911 with him. He allowed everyone to shoot it, a bunch to say the least. When we left that night it had 500 rounds down the barrel without a cleaning or malfunction. Since he is a range instructor he took it the next night with the same results. Alot of of you are saying why didn't he clean it etc... He purchased this pistol with the intentions of a torture test to compare to his high dollar 1911's. In the end we were all highly impressed at the accuracy and reliability for the price paid.

I love my plain RIA 1911 (GI version), it was definitely on the lower end of the 1911 price scale ($400ish).
