Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a 1911 for myself but I can't seem to get my head around all the options. I'm would like to keep my budget at $1000 but could go as high as $1200 if it's a vastly better gun.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Made by Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, or Sig so I can help myself justify the cost because my department requires one of those brands for off duty carry.
Even though I might carry it, I know that I will be carrying my XDs the vast majority of the time and the 1911 will be primarily for paper punching so I prefer high quality sights to worse "no snag" or "low profile".
Accurate and reliable.
Ambi safety since I'm a south paw.
Any suggestions to start narrowing my search?
Thanks,
Demos
