I have a desert Eagle 1911 in the classifieds. If I had the cash this would be gone.

I shot a full size SIG 1911 a few months ago and liked it probably the best of any I've shot. Yep i have a few. Shooters has (reckon he still does) a Nighthawk and said he preferred the Sig
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom?
Everyone. All of them...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

Kimber,Ruger...or you could save up and own a Baer or Nighthawk..Stan Chen has like a 7 year waiting list. Would recommend Colt or S&W....IF you could try them out first.
Only hits count.

Hate to say it but the Remington 1911's are very well made and shoot great, this is from a Kimber Custom Shop guy. For under 1K you can't get custom quality for production price and the R1 is the best 1911 for the money. This is truth too. I transferred a R1 for a buddy and it is the smoothest 1911 I have ever handled outside of a Les Baer

I'm not claiming to be an expert rather far from it infact but Kimbers have been known for hit or miss quality for quite a while know.
The 4 brands I listed are hand fit. Yep,but more than 3 times the OP's budget limit. I don't even think you can get a top quality 1911 for $1000. You might get one that runs but you just as easily might get one that doesn't. My vote ,even though it's still over budget would be for a Dan Wesson. It might be the cheapest quality you can find. +1 for the Dan Wesson. They are not quite up there with the Baer's, Wilson's and Nighthawk's, but they are way better than any other production gun.

If there's any doubt, then there is no doubt... The gut don't never lie.

Just think,for only $600 over your budget you can buy a top quality 1911, hand fitted, with no MIM parts, and never have to worry if you could have bought a better pistol. http://www.indianagunclub.com/Pages/Gun-Club-Guns-for-sale.aspxSorry,the link won't take you to a specific gun like I thought.I posted this link because they have some of the best pictures of guns for sale.

The R1 you transferred, new production? Yeah, well, within the last year I guess. It was an R1 enhanced with the beavertail, novak sights, front slide cuts (  ) and G10 grips

I personally love my Springfield 1911 A1 Stainless. I carry it often.
Recently I started shooting ATI 1911 without any complaints. I don't expect any of my guns to be safe queens. What's the point of having it if you can't enjoy it.
My Springfield was roughly $1k several years ago but I also had Springfield do some work on the gun too at the custom shop. My ATI was about $400 and I shoot it just as much if not more. I am actually looking at getting another one in the next few days.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

Why not buy a RIA and enhance it as you can.
You can build a pretty good 1911 with a Caspian slide and frame too
