Best 1911 for under $1000
I am looking to own my first 1911. I would like to get a really great looking gun with perfect reliability. It seem everyone has the kimbers and they are great guns. I am looking to get something everyone doesn't have. I have looked a little at the Mitchell Gold Series. Anyone own one of these? The new Mitchell manufacturing ones, not the Mitchell arms ones. How are they? How do they compare with Kimber, Springfield, Sig, etc?
Best 1911 for under $1000
I've been told by 2 gunsmiths and 4 dealers to stay away from Mitchell. There are quite a few choices out there that you can look at. ParaOrd are well made pistols. Only drawback is when you wanna sell it or trade not a lot of 1911 shooters/enthusiasts here in Central Connecticut is hot on ParaOrd's. A few Colt models. Kimbers are under a grand. Check SA 1911s especially model PX9109L which is their parkerized loaded 1911 which retails below $700.
