I LOVE the 1911 platform and always have. Carry one all the time. However, believe it or not, I carry one of two 1911s - a Springfield 1911-A1 or a Sig Sauer P220 - both in .45.
I paid $500 for the Springfield and $525 for the Sig. I would trust my life with either pistol.
Unfortunately, for me at least, $3,000 PLUS for a custom build makes no sense to me. I mean, yes, they are absolutely beautiful, but practical? Not for me.

A good friend of mine chases those high end 1911's. He's big into Nighthawk and Guncrafter. He was into Wilson but I guess they "done him wrong" or something. I never could wrap my head around the prices he paid, then would take a loss to sell it so he could buy another high end toy. They are some pretty damn nice examples of custom work though, I will say that.
