I'm looking for a 1911 type gun (.45) that i can carry daily but I'm torn...

If you had a dream pistol... which make and model of gun would you purchase to cover the following

+ Beauty
+ Competition
+ Accuracy
+ Self Defense

Basically I want a gun I can carry for life....but I want to compete here and there too...

Sorry to ask but I'm torn been looking at so many types from Kimber, STI, Para etc...

Also, if you reply can you tell me why as well...instead of just listing a gun... thanks
 
Too many dream 1911's to even begin listing, for me at least.

However, if you are only wanting to spend a nominal amount, the Springfield Range Officer might be a good one to look at. Supposedly, it was built for the type of use that you state.JMO
 
I just ordered a Les Baer Ultimate Tactical Carry. I pick it up the day after Thanksgiving, so it may be a while before I can say whether it's as good as i expect it to be.

But if all goes well, I intend to use it for IDPA and CCW.
 
What's your budget? Were you looking for heirloom quality, semi custom, or off the shelf? The range is well into the multiple thousands


Also realize that you will end up with a compromise for either purpose.
