[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3236185, member: 24452"] If you’re a “1911 guy”, your answer will more than likely be yes, and if not, the answer will more than likely be no. I’ve been a “gun guy” since I was a teenager and owned a few 1911’s early in life, but I didn’t become a “1911 guy” until I bought my first Wilson. I’ve now own A BUNCH of 1911’s and am currently in possession of a Wilson, a Brown, a Baer, a STI, a S&W, and a full custom Colt. After finally getting a full custom gun built, my interest in semi-custom 1911’s has waned greatly. For what it’s worth, the used semi-custom 1911 market is pretty soft, and there are some bargains to be had if you’re watching for them. I’ve bought good, clean used Wilsons, Browns, and Baers for the same price as a new Dan Wesson (which IS NOT a semi-custom 1911 even though some want to claim they are). Personally, having owned and shot “low end” production 1911’s, yes, I think a semi-custom 1911 is worth the extra scratch, but then again, I shoot literally every day and want to own the best I can afford.
