look around....you can find a nice used Wilson Combat for 1500.....
Best I've done is $1600. I'd buy another at $1500 though.
i got this for 1500 little over 2 years ago...
+1 to the MC Operator, But they tend to be hard to find and dont generally last to long.
Bradis has a beautifull Colt Combat Elite if it isnt gone by now. I cant remember the price but I pretty sure it was right in that range. If I hadnt gotten the MC Operator i wouldve gotten the Colt.
Excellent score! Beats my $1600 CQB Elite. I did pick up from another member a full-on custom gun that Wilson built from a Colt frame and slide for less than $1K, but I'm thinking that was a "once in a lifetime" kind of deal.
If the OP could replicate your purchase that would be his best deal, for sure!
We think alike. The Colt Special Combat Gov was my other choice for a 1911.
I would check the INGO classifieds
There's only one answer, a used Les Baer 1911. They are the only answer in this price range.
Colt has great resale value, have heard a ton of good about Kimber. I've shot a S&W 1911, it was highly accurate.
