Well folks it just so happens I won my fantasy football league, which is great because I get a few $$$. With any windfall profits and an active internet connection; one must post the obligatory 1911 for $1K thread. :rofl:
Looking for new or used options. I would prefer stainless, however, I think this is my mild case of iophobia to rust...
1911 possible uses
- CCW
- Range fun
- companion when hunting
- posting pics on the internetz :rofl:
In all seriousness what would you guys/gals recommend?
My response never changes. The STI Trojan is my model of choice.
A used TRP is another option, but I prefer the Trojan for range use.

STI Ranger or Trojan.

The Trojan....but if you're going to carry then the Ranger2.
STI Ranger II. I like 'em so much I already bought two.

Used Valor or TRP.
There are a BUNCH of reviews in the resource thread: http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1269683
But, I too would suggest a Trojan.
new:
1) STI Ranger 2
2) SA Range Officer
used:
1) DW Valor
2) TRP
3) STI Duty One
STI Spartan and a reloading press.

Thanks for the recommendations. Lobe the fact that sti is local. I find it odd that sti makes so few ss models.
My vote is for the Trojan as well! The Ranger II would also be a great option.
Your local to STI and your asking us these questions! Jeez! Go get you one already!

That's fine with me, I much prefer carbon steel 1911s.
I really feel its a better material for the platform. So do quite a few others.

Go for the hard chrome on the Trojan!

This is sex. Is this an option from STI or did you have someone else do the work? I want one bad, just need to make some more money :crying:

You can get one hard chromed as a custom order from brazos. $300 upgrade. No idea on timing.

So $1300 for a hard chrome Trojan? Expensive, but so sexy....:dunno:

I've said a few times that I think SS is a poor choice compared to carbon steel for most pistol components.
