Looking to purchase a new 1911 in the future

[chefsamuel]

So I'm looking to get another 1911 in the future, budget of around $1000, been looking at a Kimber, any suggestions out there?

Save a few hundred more and get a Les Baer. Picked this one up $1400 OTD. Used safequeen. Don't get in a hurry and you will find one.

I don't like Chard very much, I want his gun. Les Baer would be my 1st choice. You might talk to Gary at randgfirearms.com don't go by what you see, ask him. He doesn't have any Baer's but he does have several custom's from the old Masters. He's as honest as they come and great to deal with.

Nice 1911, Chard.

I like the Les Baer, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, Night Hawk etc. but for my budget, I went with the Kimber Pro CDP 2 and I am very satisfied. I can't wait for the Glock 1911 with the triple stack mags to come out......lol

Will this 1911 be for conceal carry?

Nice 1911, Chard.

Okiebertt, fess up, your just a 1911 monger. You never met a 1911 you did not like!

I've had nothing but good experience Kimber. I've never fired a Les Baer, but I've only heard great things about them.

I own a Taurus pt1911 and I haven't had any problems with it but I've read bad reviews on it. It seems you either get a good one or a bad one. I got lucky.

I've read good reviews on Rock Island Armory 1911. They are cheap and ugly but they seem to work and they have good customer service from what I've read.

If I had a grand burning a hole in my pocket and was lusting for a cocked & locked, I'd get this one...
