Ok, things are looking up. I am in a position to purchase another 1911. I have had a few, a couple of Colts and a Springer. My budget is $700-$800. I am leaning towards a Commander size but have not ruled out a full size. This will be for carry. I will not buy one with GI sights. I've been down that road and my eyes are too old. Obviously, I would prefer all the bells and whistles I can get for the money. I would like those who carry a 1911 in .45acp to give me their opinions. The guns I am looking at would be a Springer, probably used at that price point, an STI, or maybe a Remington.
