So i've decided to get a 1911. I had an old Colt back in the day, sold it a few years ago and still miss it. Would love advice. Here's my requirements.
1) - I'm a left, so ambi-safety is a must. Also prefer left handed mag release, but not a deal breaker.
2) - Barrel length. Not shorter than 3.5", no longer than 4".
3)- Capacity. at least 7+1
4) - Price. Not an issue. I'm willing to pay for quality. I'm not willing to pay for brand name bragging rights. If it's pricey because it's awesome that's fine, if it's pricey solely due to the name on the slide, or because it's a "limited edition", I'll pass.
5) - Reliability. I don't want to have to clean it every 100 rounds. I want Sig reliability. This isn't a range pistol, this is a carry pistol.
6) - Firing pin block. (don't try to convert me, i want one)
7) - .45ACP. How dare you think of another caliber for the 1911.
thanks in advance for advice!!
