    Looking for a 1911 in the next few weeks. I would love to be able to afford a Colt or Kimber but just can't. Narrowed it down to Rock Island, Remington, Cimarron, American Tactical or American Classic. Any input is certainly appreciated. .45 caliber.

    Where are you in WV? I'm right across the line over in VA.

    What did you end up getting?

    Good choice. I was going to try and steer you in that direction had you not already made up your mind. They're the best bang for your buck IMO, and worth the extra coin over those other options.

    Damn solid choice.

    I'm a big fan of Springfield Armory 1911's. I've had flawless functioning from mine.

    One of the best in that price range. This is a great platform to build off of. Springfield has one of the best warranty departments. I have many and have not needed them. Clean it, lube it and I mean run it wet. Go get some videos on polishing the feed ramp and you will love how it runs. Above all shoot the shit out of it.

    But they do have a different profile compared to traditional 1911s.

    Kimbers are over-rated. They just look pretty.
