[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2838063, member: 385"] Wilson Combat 1911's are one of the tiny select few high end "custom" guns whose price will appreciate with time. Les Baers are well regarded by some as are a few others. A custom smith can build a 1911 to your exact spec's but don't expect the majority of these to appreciate in value over time. I'd leave that high cost 1911 as a range and competition only pistol. A carry gun can get beat up and is much more subject to loss or becoming an exhibit tied up for months/years in a legal matter than is one of the latter. One of the Tupperware pistols (Glock, Springfield, S&W, H&K, Walther, FN, etc.) can do the carry gun job for lots less money plus weigh a good bit less on your belt. [/QUOTE]
