You have three options, in my opinion. I don't care for any other company that makes 1911s, because once you handle a Kimber, Ed Brown, or Wilson, they look and feel clunky. (no offense guys).

Kimber makes the best "production" line 1911. They give you the best value for your money, while keeping costs down with a production line that reduces costs of labor. You won't find a better overall quality and value for the money, with many custom features that come standard on all models. I own a Kimber, and
love it. A Kimber 1911 is my only main carry gun.
Ed Brown

and
Wilson Combat
http://www.wilsoncombat.com/
make the
top of the line CUSTOM 1911s, that are all hand made by top experienced gunsmiths. No production line here! You get exactly what you ask for, and you will pay top dollar for it too.
Kimber is the lowest quality of standard I will accept in my carry gun. One day I WILL have an Ed Brown or Wilson Combat, unless the U.N. fascists get their way.
All three companies are American owned and made. :dude:
