Okay, so with tax season coming up I'll be getting back a heafty amount. Haven't absolutely decided I'll designate a small chunk of it for a 1911, but am seriously considering and would like some recommendations on what to be pre-shopping for.
I want one that will use standard readily available parts, aftermarket and/or stock. Not going to spend more than 700 on. So far I'm interested in Remington. Then possibly RIA/Metro. I don't necessarily want the full size, actually prefer the commander I believe it is, not sure if Rem does this size. Under 5"barrel but no less than 4". Must have is classic grip safety, think it's called beavertail...? One feature none of my guns currently have and I just dig something different and unique. Also desire the stainless slide frame.
Thanks in advance for the experienced info and advice.
I'm so lost with all the different barrel and frame sizes. I don't want the full size frame, one just under it and hope a 4.25" barrel. Not sure if this is commander or officer or what. Educate me please fellas...
