Like you, I'm a 1911 newbie. I shoot mostly revos and glocks, but have recently come to admire a well made 1911. I keep scouting the forums for insights and have read so much conflicting info that I just decided that I'd go with the maker that had the most reputation capital concerning reliability. That narrowed it down to Wilson and Springfield Professional. I'm sure other guns be makers are decent, but I look at the price tag as cheap insurance and a minimum of fuss... (if folks couldn't tell, this is prolly going to be my CCW gun) That said 2k fir a pistol is pretty steep... I just see that I'm able to run the gun faster and with far more control than the Tupperware. That and this is America dammit!! Sorry, I didn’t see your initial reply…

They were: 1) Dan Wesson CBOB in .45 ACP 2) A 9mm top end for my Witness 10mm so I can practice more economically 3) A Marvel Precision .22 LR top end for my Les Baer Concept III...so I can work on trigger control 4) A whole bunch of normal capacity mags for my furrin'-made pistols...XDs, Witness 5) the Obama admin to realize that governing is for grown ups and to abandon the unicorn and lollipop crap I already got #1 - #4 and #5 is a pipe dream.
