Looking to get some feelings on 1911's, just a house gun and plinking, not carrying, but something to have in the house and use at the range only. I am not overly familiar with anything but Kimbers, but know there are a ton of other brands out there after doing some looking. Thing is prices are ALL OVER THE PLACE. I am seeing tons of Llama brand's for $350-$450, Sigs for $1,100, Kimbers for $900, (used online), but then it looks like the point of spending the $900+ might as well just buy new. What are people's feelings on 1911 brands, I know Sig and Kimber are 2 big ones, Colt and Springfield Armory are another 2, and I think I like the S.A. Range Master for $769 right now at Vances. Looking for good, bad, ugly info on these guns. I believe I want to get one after Christmas when people need money to pay bills, or aren't buying and hopefully prices drop a tad more. I do think I want stainless though, or at least want wood grips on something like the Range Master. Go.
