I currently own four stainless 5" 1911's that I suppose some would call "lower end" when compared to the $2000.00, $3000.00 and up guns by Wilson, Les Baer, Ed Brown, Nighthawk, Dan Wesson, Fusion etc.
"I wasn't going to spend 1/2 my evening hunting and pecking for the best price on my four 1911's so to be quick and provide an idea of the new going price I pulled them all up on Bud's."
Springfield Armory 5" stainless Mil-Spec. = $742.00
Ruger 5" stainless 5" SR1911 = $875.00
S & W 5" stainless E Series = $891.00
Remington 5" stainless R1-S = $655.00
According to what I've read about them I wouldn't hesitate a bit to purchase a RIA but for some reason I just never have.......YET
Anyway, as you can see all my 1911's are under $900.00 not counting tax......they are reliable, accurate and provide me with hours of enjoyment hammering gongs at 25 yds. which is all I expect of them.
When it comes to a 1911, or any gun for that matter, purchase what you can afford and go have fun with it.
