$2500 to spend on a 1911...your choice is...

Springfield TRP and a lot of ammo

Staccato for me or a Colt Delta Elite Rail if I could find one.

Hello everyone! Im a single parent...Military veteran and im on a limited budget. I want to "splurge" and spent within my means and I have around $2200-$2500. I would like to get into the upper echelon but I might not have enough funds...
If you had around that budget what you get???

Happy Shooting and Semper Fidelis!

In that perfect price range..I’d go Les Baer 45.. damn nice custom 1911 for $2500 bucks.. or… Dan Wesson Specialist. 9 or 45… $1800- $2200 .. I like the Dan Wesson Guardian…lots of guys have that one on this site..

You can get a Colt Gold Cup starting at around $1,250. There are many custom 1911's out there that you may find used. I bought my Wilson Combat Protector Elite for much less than it was new. I don't think it had more than a couple boxes of shells fired through it. Of course, I just may have been in the right place at the right time. Dan Wessons are a very good choice, but don't overlook a Springfield Armory.

Wilson Combat CQB or Ed Brown

For 1911s, I would get a used Guncrafter, Les Baer, and Dan Wesson in that order. Thing is that you can also just buy a Colt and shoot it then use it as a base gun later on for a Burton or Yost build.

I don’t know what the wait it but I wouldn’t doubt it at this point. But if you are young enough and patient enough…. I know I am certainly not.

You don't need to spend 2,500--you can buy a lot of gun for under 1500

Good luck!

I think for the money, a Les Baer is unbeatable. I own 2, both Hillsdale PII guns and am very happy with them. I bought both used and got one for $1500 and the other for $2100. I also have owned a LeClaire built one but the slightly larger grip frame didn't fit me as well as the Hillsdale so I sold it.

Used Ed Brown,Wilson.combat or someone's customs pistol. Their is many times a customs pistol around for that money

Les Baer Concept I 1911 45acp $2,495

Anyone know why the OP was banned a year ago ?

Since this thread seems to continue, my Wilson Combat Protector Elite has an accuracy guarantee of 1" @25 yards, I deem it more accurate than I am. My WC has never malfunctioned, I trust it to be an EDC. Of course Les Baer, Ed Brown, and a few others are excellent choices. One could go for the very tops and buy a Cabot, but then you'd have to be a crooked politician to afford one!

I'd also like to know why he was banned. He was trying to get me to buy an HK USP45T.

I think id try to beg @TheCollector to put me on his books.

For you Sean, at $2500 I would sell almost any TCC I have projected to date.... your choice.
