Im looking at getting my first 1911. Ive done quite a bit of reading on some other sites, but Id still like to get some opinions here.
I would like to use it as an all around firearm.
Range
Occassional Carry
IDPA - if I can ever make it to another match
Steel Shoot - see IDPA
Home Defense.
My requirements are:
Made in USA
Budget of $800 +/-
Commander Model
.45acp
In no particular order I've narrowed it down to
Dan Wesson Classic Bobtail
Colt 1911 Stainless Commander
S&W Gunsite .45acp
Taurus
I know they don't all fit my requirements and I realize I might have to compromise. I put the Taurus in my list because it looks like such a good deal. So, any opinions on the models Ive chosen or is there another one out there that comes close to what Im looking for that you think I should consider?
Thanks
