I have been having a rough year. A couple trips to the hospital, all the Covid stuff, etc. etc. Things are starting to look up, so I was thinking of using my meager Christmas bonus to get something to cheer myself up. But what do I want.
A couple weeks ago I was sorting through my ammo and supply stash, and found half an ammo can of .45 ammo. And a couple thousand cast bullets. And a bunch of primers. And a Chip McCormick magazine. And a bushing wrench.
It was sign. I need another 1911.
If you had about $800 to spend, what would you be looking for? I like carrying a commander, but prefer shooting a full size. I carry a High Power every day, so barrel length is a wash.
I don't mind doing a few upgrades myself, and it will eventually get it cut for a red dot. So I don't need it fully tricked out to start with. I just need a good reliable base to start from.
Being cheap, my first thought was a Rock Island, but I'm learning cheap isn't always the best. So, please help me to not waste my money.
Thanks!
