    Let's talk 1911's

    I'm in the market for a reasonably priced 1911 in the $1000 range, I haven't fired many of them, I did fire a SIG STX 45 and really liked it, I shot it better than any handgun I own.. The STX is from their custom shop, the slide is tight and moves really nicely, the trigger is also very good...
