I've been wanting a 1911 for quite some time. Yesterday I was in a shop which had a new springfield 1911A1 Milspec. It looks as plain jane as they get and the price seemed pretty nice at around $540. I don't know too much about 1911's so its time to ask the experts
Any downsides to this pistol?
What about accuracy?
Is it something that can easily be upgraded/customized?
How does the quality compare to other manufacturers?
The guy at the shop also pointed me towards a S&W 1911, it looked relly pretty compared to the springfield- was a bit slicker, trigger felt a little better, and the shopkeep said it should be quite a bit more accurate out of the box. The price was about $150 more however. Politics aside, would the S&W be a better buy? ANy disadvantages to the S&W compared to the Springfield? Are there any other brands I should take a look at? I really don't want to spend any more than $700.
