My girlfriend and I are planning to purchase a 1911. I know that these can vary in price and quality and am prepared to spend up to $1000 as is she. My question is this, which brands should be avoided and which brands are manufacturing quality 1911's that can still be purchased for a lower price than my maximum?
I see that Taurus is selling some 1911 models in the $650 price range. I also know that they can sell them cheaper because they are made in Brazil. Are there issues with the quality of a Taurus 1911?
If I buy one, I want it to last a lifetime but I don't want to spend a fortune.
