I believe a 1911 is in my near future...
I'm a total idiot when it comes to 1911's and after fondling them for some time I think it is time that I owned one. I want to stay under $600, and have heard great things about RIA. But I am also not afraid to buy used either.

I am actually afraid of that, and I am sure my wife is too. Still researching and looking for that one deal I can not walk away from.

If you're going to buy your first 1911, then do it right and get a Colt
Series 70.
Buy the gun that all the others try to copy.
It will cost a little more but it's worth it. Less MIM parts and a much
greater resale value than any of the others.
If you can't get a Colt then get a Springfield Armory Mil Spec.

I would advise you to hurry up and buy...lol
I was in the same boat a year ago looking to get into my first. The more that I have researched and held different guns the more my budget has grown for my first 1911.

I'll never sell the 23, it was my very first hand gun. Moved to a 26, didn't like it and sold it. My wife bought a 19, won't sell it either. We bought her a LCP yesterday for you CCW. Once she gets used to it we will move on to another and that will become a nice pocket gun for me, or under the seat gun around town.
I plan on getting more info before deciding. I just know at this time I want to remain under $600 for sure and closer to $500 for my first 1911. Once I become more familiar I will venture out to higher end guns. I just take issues with an EDC that costs over $700. I like my guns to take a beating and not feel so bad if they do.

or take that 600 send it to this George @ migunslingers.com and put a deposit on something really nice.
Just go ahead and go to the "top" you will eventually end up there any way.

Add me to the club. 20 was for the G20 that was always first out of the safe. I haven't had it to the range in about 6 months. However, I will never sell it. I may have to shoot down a spaceship or something sometime.

Don't forget about those pesky grizzly bears that are constantly on the prowl.

No last time I went after Grizzlies with it, people got excited:
