    But in all seriousness look at the rock islands iv had 6 of em . And going to buy another. But I'm older now got a little better money now.
    So my next two choices are les baer or ed brown

    Hey K Man,

    Bill Wilson makes a swell 1911, as does Dan Wesson.

    If you are a bit mechanical....you purchase slide/frame/barrel "kit" from Fusion, Mr. Cerva gives you a big discount on small parts.

    I'm guessing, you may need to get about $125 to $175 in tools from Brownell's to properly fit/time the barrel, and a couple stones....files & such...

    You will be happy.....

    First time? To do a good job, will take you about 40hrs or so....(takes me about 20, using hand tools)

    The satisfaction of building your own.....LOL

    Later, Mark

    Now I get your moniker !! It wasn't until now that I saw you're located in Kyle TX and now I see you're a RIA addict.
    At first the name sounded like some new fangled drug to cure impotence or something.

    I'm inclined to think that the best reason to own a 1911 (or most anything) is because one wants to do so. Don't want to do so, don't buy it. I'm inclined to think that some folks who want to be talked into buying something could sometimes be looking for someone to blame if the purchase doesn't work out.
