Well, I just got through with my first tactical pistol course, and I'm pretty surprised. I expected the class to be filled with high-tech wonder pistols. Not the case! The best shooters there had 1911s. I've started to rethink the idea of a single action pistol for carry. Ditch the wonder pistols, now maybe I'll carry a 1911? I wouldn't have even thought this before the class. But this whole double action idea might have been a bad one? I don't know, but I'm willing to entertain the thought. I guess it's time to get a 1911 and see for myself...
So, tell me, how cheap can I get a good full sized 1911? I'm talking about spending less than $500. And that's for a fully funtioning pistol - no tuneups by a 1911 guru! What are my options? I've been told that Springfield Armory has good, reliable, inexpensive guns. What do you guys think? I REALLY need some help here since I have ZERO experience with this type of gun.
Thanks in advance,
Gino
