If you're going to spend a bunch of money (upwards of $1,000) on a tax stamp, suppressor and threaded barrel it doesn't make any sense to go and buy a $150 Hi Point or the cheapest 1911 out there as the host.
Buying a cheap 1911 and then upgrading the parts over time is either going to end up costing a lot more than a decent 1911 upfront or is just going to be a cheap 1911 with a mish mash of parts.
