I sold my last 1911 10 months ago after having decided to concentrate on revolvers and one (two? - .38spl and .357mag) caliber. This was part of a move to simplify my shooting gear and reloading stuff.
However I have this 1911-.45acp itch that needs to be scratched on a limited budget. I want one (or two) for the range and club shoots.
The least expensive line I've seen are the Armscor-built 1911s sold by Rock Island Armory and Charles Daly, and they come customized with goodies like beavertail, commander type ring hammer, novak style combat sights, etc.
I know that they are priced that way because they are built from investment castings, which Ruger has demonstrated to be a perfectly acceptable way of producing guns.
I've read threads that sing praises to the reliable functioning and accuracy of these guns but I'm more interested in long-term accuracy, reliability and durability.
Anybody out there have really shot these guns a lot, as in twenty/thirty thousand rounds or more?
