If your looking to flex 1200-1600$
Springfield TRP - hands down a top consideration.
Mid to upper 1k's Used Les Baer's would be a solid choice and you may score a used Wilson Combat CQB as well. Lightly Used Ed Brown ??
Colt's and Springer's are the basis for a lot custom build-ups. So if you plan to trick one out later on, i'd go that route.
Check out Dan Wesson's as well - new to be had around early - mid 1k's.
If budget isn't a worry - DL Sports, Pistol Dynamics, Yo Bo 1* Springer , Les Baer SRP, Rock River Arms 1911 (all steel early 2000's not the polymer)
You can ponder your decision while looking through louder than words..... Top smiths in the country display their art. (ltwguns)
