so i got a Significant amount of cash back this year, what are some of the /k/ approved 1911's on the market? im not very gun-savvy when it comes to them but i love the way they look and feel
the price range is $1200-$1500
i was looking at the colt M45A1 but its fuck ugly with its full sand color
>>32985105
you dont want a 1911 get a glock
>>32985105
You don't want a 1911, go for the hi-point.
This is what I just bought. Can't wait to get it to the range.

Specialist if you want a rail... Valor if you don't
>>32985565
question being, to rail or not to rail?
>>32985105
There's a couple on here I disagree with, but it's pretty on.
>>32985750
do you want it easy to find holsters for or a complete bitch? especially if you mount something non standard to it.
What's the best budget A1 GI model?
>>32985750
No rail 100% of the time for me because I'm not going to use a single stack .45 for anything but daytime fun.
>>32985766
whoa i need an explanation
why is the Sig the only one with a visible extractor?
>>32985879
Because they chose to do an external extractor. It's not traditional in a 1911.
>>32985879
It's probably faster to produce them that way.
>>32985898
advantages? easier to service but...last as long as traditional?
>>32985879
cause sig uses external extractors like the special snowflakes that they are.
slide profile is different too.
>>32985565
Have an old picture of my stainless valor. I've since swapped out the grips to a different pattern but haven't done anything else to it. Might send it in to get a magwell blended, but it really isn't necessary.
>>32985922
There aren't really any advantages. Supposedly its stronger or extracts more positively, but its all fud and speculation.
>>32985924
why sig why
>>32985105
i actually have that gun, shoots pretty good and the trigger is damn nice. i actually saw another of the same model but it has a coated black slide you may like
>>32985766
I'd put Bob Marvel up on the God tier
>>32985853
prob RIA
>>32986215
the black one is the colt combat unit rail gun
its the same thing in black for $400 less
>>32986255
damn dunno where you're gettin yours but my reg was the same price as the black slide maybe i just got lucky
>>32985105
the m45 is excellent
the MUH rines use it actually
>>32985854
That's cool, but if you ever decide you want a rail you can always get 'recover' grips which give the gun a rail.
>>32986273
it's MSRP is less than the M45, your lgs is bamboozling people
>>32987417
literally a plastic tumor
>>32985105
I have a Sig that I really enjoy. Reverse two tone.
I've put about 2500 rounds of LAX reloads through it and have never had a single issue.
>>32987389
No we don't
>>32987417
Ugly as fuck, completely ruins a very aesthetic pistol
>>32985105
>i was looking at the colt M45A1 but its fuck ugly with its full sand color
It's available in black.
