I have some trade credit at my LGS so I'm thinking about plunking down for my first 1911, knowing full well that I may catch a disease that I can't control if I go down that road. My question is, where do I start? I've been doing a small amount of research, at least enough to know how much I don't know, so what are some of the better starter pistols to be considering, books, websites, forums, etc.? I don't need to be looking at the cheapest models, and I think I like the idea of a Colt, and a .45 caliber, but I'm all ears when it comes to suggestions about brand, caliber, if thinking about suppressing it/one down the road is a good idea, if a commander or full size is a better option, or anything else that bears discussing. Please guys, help educate me.
