Kimber...

So I was looking online for a 1911 in my price range, and being old I started to write a list in a notebook. I made it to Kimber, decided I needed a nap and went to bed. A couple hours later I come downstairs and my wife had checked my notes, said "So, who is Kimber?" I told her not to worry, she was too pricey for me.

Might I suggest you look at Rock Island Armory. They have a full line of 1911 platforms, the majority are under $500. I have two a G.I. and a compact tactical. Both guns have superb fit and finish and are more accurate than me. Here's a link

You can find great deals on Gunbroker, Bud's, and many other online locations.

What ever brand you choose I wish you the best, the 1911 is a great platform and my personal favorite. If you are interested there is also a great forum over at 1911forum.com, they have sub forums for individual manufactures. Check out the Rock Island forum, there are alot of great posts about the company.

Best of Luck

Maybe try a used Kimber or save up a bit longer to get the gun you like.
