Whats the best 1911 for around $1000?
Legion SAO 226
I'd say a Sig Emperor Scorpion (or whatever finish variant you prefer).
But if you up the budget a couple hundred, Springfield TRP all the way.

if you can scrouge up another 450, the Coonan Classic .357 magnum is pretty damn nice.

Series 70 Colt. Blued for $825ish and stainless steel for $875.
>>29927371
Any of the Colt series 70 models can be had in your choice of finish for $850ish.
Gold Cup National Match can be had for $1050ish.
Unless you like a specific design of some xyz Springfield or STI honestly I'd just stick with a Colt. If they still offer their super high gloss Royal blue through the custom shop that might be worth paying extra for since they are total sex.

OP here I was leaning towards the Colt. My dad has one its fun shooting

Their prices on the 70 Series have come down and are pretty decent for what you get. Also as superficial as it is, it's nice to have a 1911 with a pony on it.
>>29927371
SIG 1911
They make a million different varieties right around $1000-1200
>>29927595
I second colt.

Get a Springfield Loaded and spend the difference on a holster, mags and ammo.
