500 is usually the minimum before I’ll carry a 1911.

Just know not all Kimbers have the stupid Swartz and some are actually quite nice.

Well since the original thread is over a year old, but people are still making suggestions, I'll add mine. I've had 22 1911s since 1996. Some got sold off with less than a hundred rds through them, others I shot thousands. I currently have 13 1911s in different calibers 9mm, .45 and a 10mm. I...

Yep. Agree. The only thing I will add is in SA, MIM parts are in all of their standard lineup. Even the Pros. My Vickers Master Class, advertised as having tool steel parts instead of MIM, has lots of MIM. It’s not a problem, but does point to cost savings instead of using the best possible.

I don't have any Dalys. Years ago, probably 10-15, I remember a representative from CD asking members about some features on a 1911 and they were to incorporate them. I never followed the thread much but the initial feedback seemed pretty good. I haven't tested one personally but I did look at...

I’ve got a 9mm Commander that is one of my best out of ten 1911s in fit and finish. I love it.

Excellent post! Great rationale.

I’ve got an Alpha Foxtrot 1911C. Smoothest 1911 I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a Baer, a dozen different Springfields, and 8 Colts. The only issue I’ve had is the thread protector will unscrew after about a hundred rounds. As far as brands to avoid…. Taurus (out of spec) Ruger(cast), Baer,( he’s...
