    $20 shipped? Unless shipping is $15 for some reason. Then $25 if that suits you. I can send a pic if you're interested.

    Always wanted a 1911. What are some personal preferences and recommendations for a first time buyer?

    Inexpensive is good, cheap is not
    Springfield Armory is good quality, excellent base for a custom gun.

    Find out what features you want, set a price range then go from there. Leave about 200 for mags/ammo and parts, thats a good place to start. Dont worry about manufacturers quite yet, theres too many models, trims, styles features to think about.

    My first 1911 was carry so i wanted a lightweight commander. Added sights, grips, holster and some mags.

    My Springfield custom:
    I started with a Stainless Springfield match in 9mm then built the gun to suit me.
    The thing about these guns is they are like a small block Chevy, there are a crapton of hod rod parts and no two will be alike.

    Do you have other 1911's in other calibers? I've been lusting after a .38 super that the local gun shop has in their display case of late.

    That's precisely why I'm lusting over it instead of fondling it at the range, lol. Currently I don't have a .38 Super in my arsenal, and I'm really not looking to add another caliber to my ammo stockpile. Not until I get set up for handloading stuff other than shotgun shells, at least.
