Due to some recent issues with rust on a blued 1911, I'm looking for a fullsize, stainless 1911. Could people suggest possibilities? I'd like something that comes as close to my criteria as possible - off-the-shelf, with minimal gunsmithing necessary.

Thanks!
-Siderite
(and please stick to 1911s, I shoot them very well and I've already invested in holsters, mags, ammo, etc. for my current one)
Factors, in order from most important:
- Reliability (with hollowpoints)
- Beavertail grip safety (hammer-bite=ouch)
- Sights (I normally wear glasses, but want to be able to aim if I am not wearing them/they get knocked off, so the "GI" blade front sight doesn't work for me.)
- Ambi-thumb safety
- Cost (I'd like it to be less than $1000, but I'm willing to go higher for the ideal carry 1911 - after all, this is something I'm entrusting to possibly save my life)
