[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 15907388, member: 45161"] 1) Springfield or Colt. They're the only two decent consumer 1911's IMO. Whatever you do don't get a Kimber, last I checked their 1911's are riddled with problems. 2) If you're going to carry it don't get a rail. 3) Come in a little under budget and spend money on a Smith and Alexander magwell, new grips to match, and the gunsmith work needed to blend it. If I recall the TRP has a magwell, all be it not a nice one but it has one. 4) Stay away from external extractors. If you plan on carrying look at an aluminum commander model. They don't shoot as well as a stainless 5" but they're much easier to carry due to the weight. The Springfield only comes in a rail option but the Colt has either. You can carry a stainless model with the proper belt but it's not as comfortable. I carry both. [/QUOTE]
