They are fairly cheap but I have had good luck with RIA. I bought a GI version to just “have” one, and that ****er shoots good. Straight from the box that thing was a good pistol to shoot, and over the years I have slowly upgraded it some. It’s actually a pistol I carry almost full time in the winter, when I have a little more clothes to help cover a full size 1911. The gun has never failed me, never gave me any trouble, it’s been an all around good pistol.
That being said I also have a R1 Enhanced from Remington, and I ****ing love that pistol even more. I was able to score it for $300 from some guy who didn’t know he had a $700 pistol, that his dad left him.
Whatever you end up with, make sure the loading ramp is polished. It will help with making sure it loads. Most guys who bitch about 1911 don’t have a polished ramp and try to run hollow points and it doesn’t work since they were originally designed for FMJ.
