My friend’s wife contacted me about a Christmas present for my buddy. He’s always wanted a 1911 but has never bought one. She has a budget of about $8-900. It won’t be a carry gun so no compacts and it will be a 45. School me on what to look for. What brands and features would you look at in this price range?
