If the 1911 is for a range gun and not specifically for Carry be sure to get an all steel one.

I own and have shot both for a long time and agree with how Ed Brown describes it, an aluminum framed 1911 is made for Carry, a steel one is made for shooting.

Norm, for the price the Springfield RO in either 9mm or .45 is very hard to beat. I have the stainless in 9mm and it is a very solid shooter. Also if there was ever an issue with it, Springfield will pay shipping both ways to correct it. I use Tripp Cobra mags or Dawson Precision, good mags are a must have with any 1911.
