I just bought a M45A1 from Colt.... I LOVE IT. It's amazing, I found my LNIB for 1200. I recommend it. Make sure it's the ion bond version and not the first production run colt did. Oh and it's what the marines are using.

Thank you sir. The grips do work nicely. It's a pretty accurate shooter and has been flawless in the limited rounds I have shot. I'm enjoying it so far.
Very nice. I came very close to buying a Colt but it was a stainless version. I'm not a bling kinda guy, lol.
i think the SAI mil spec is the best entry level 1911
I recently bought a Colt 70 Series Competition Stainless 45; it is great bang for the buck! Fit and finish are outstanding - reliable and accurate production pistol. If you prefer blued guns, check out the new Blued Colt Competition 70 Series; the slide flats are now polished. Look much better.
I really like the Colt WC guns: I have the WC Government. I just had Colt Custom Shop install the EGW Ambidextrous Safety and Harrison Short Trigger; it is outstanding! Springfield Range Officer Elite guns are tough; need to handle lightweight commander model.
Have not held a Dan Wesson 1911 yet, but hear great things about them.
Agree that 1911 Addicts site is outstanding.
Under $1400 you can find plenty of them. A little bit of research found me this for you -

OP, that's freaking gorgeous!! I wish I hadn't looked at this, because now I have to have one! LOL. I'm a DW fan and currently own a Specialist in black finish. I previously owned a stainless Valor and sold it, but had to own another. Based on your original budget, I'm guessing the blued Valor was on the high side? I haven't looked, but does DW offer the drop-in magwell blued? I added one to my Spedialist. It's functional, but not a smooth blended fit. Either way, that's an excellent 1911 you purchased. Congrats and enjoy it in good health!!
