    Springfield doesn't make the GI any more.

    Just last week at ar15.com a guy posted he got a colt 1991 orm at a pawn shop for under 500 bucks. I scored a used ww one reproduction colt last year on gun broker for 700 bucks like new in box with all the documents spare mag still in wrapper. Deals are out there key is a little luck and Being PATIENT!
    In today's world every wants to rush out and buy, but sometimes the right answer is to brown bag lunch save 15 bucks a week and in a year buy a colt. Honestly I a surprised there are not even more used 1911's out there - I figured once the 100 year centennial frenzy was over ( wanted to buy one in 2011 but the above mentioned gun was picked up in early 2012) that lots of folks would be dumping the spare safe queens.

    Thanks for the input, I'll have to do some research, maybe shoot a few to decide. wish I could afford to replace the colt delta that I had to part with.

    See...they ARE out there...but you will have to search and hunt for a Colt at or under 500 bucks.

    My cousin bought a lightly used ORM M1991A1 at a pawn shop for 450 cash about a year ago.

    Someone else posted a few. Again....they are out there.

    That's a great point. Still double the price maybe. But is twice as good, PROBABLY. There are people that don't use for defensive purposes and shoot 6 times a year and could enjoy that RIA. Nothing wrong with that, it's just for a little more your into a loaded gun. Which is awesome by comparison.

    SA GI is a solid base pistol with a great warranty. I see Norincos at good prices every now and then. Colts in my neck of the woods are out of sight, price wise.

    My Springfield GI WWII clone fitted with USGI parts with some high end company a WC and NH.

    Man I temporarily forgot about the Norinco 1911! If you search hard enough, they can be had for around $500ish. I just saw one at a gun show in October for $550 asking price. Those are very good baseline 1911's!
