MODEL 1911 45 WITCH ONE????
I have been looking around at many model 1911 handguns. (Kimber Springfield, S&W, Colt, Wilson combat, etc, etc)
Witch one is the best bang for the buck???
Any Suggestion for the group???

I personally like the Kimber. You get the best craftmanship right from the factory. Many of thier standards would cost you alot extra with the other 1911's listed. There's a good site on M1911's with a wealth of info. Good Luck, Brian 0 -
You will find everyone will have their favorite brand. No matter what you buy out of what you have listed you will get a good gun. I would shop around and look for the best deal. 0 -
You need to make a choice first as to how you will use it: home defense, tactical/carry use, target/bullseye or competition shooting... Then ask yourself how much you'll be shooting it. The more you shoot, the more likely you will want a better gun that has some refinements.
Once you decide what you are going to use it for, rent one or more models to see how you like them. Dropping $500 or more on a gun makes a couple of rentals worth the trials.
There are lots of excellent used 45s available. A clean basic 1911 makes an excellent basis for a gun you can customize as time and money allows.

Previously you mentioned an interest in IDPA, or IPSC type shooting. Do yourself a favor and buy a double stack type gun. This limits you to STI, Caspian, SV, or Para-ordnance. The only affordable one in that bunch, at least for me is the Para. You will be immediately discouraged if you show up for a match with half as many rounds in your mags as everyone else. If you aren't then you will want to buy another new pistol imediately......maybe a single stack isn't such a bad thing.

The Argi .45's probably have the best bang for the buck. Good solid weapons without a lot of show crap hanging off them. A no frill's Real Man pistol. 0 -

If your wanting to shoot IDPA, or IPSC, or just "want" a double stack .45 ... go Kimber Polymer!
