A one time keep might run over $1K.
If the limit is $1K, I would look hard at a Springfield Armory model that meets you needs.

Probably the prettiest 1911 I've ever seen. Shot really nice too!

I have been fortunate, but I assume there are some here that will give some good negative info based on their own experiences.

Go to the Firearms thread and buy the Kimber Custom Ii that is for sale by the gentleman selling his entire gun collection. Great gun for a great price.

Sig 1911
Springfield Loaded
They are both great guns and I have never had a hiccup with either.

nothin quite like a colt!
I made this several months ago ...
i was unaware Dan Wesson had one under $1,500. I've got a couple older ones ... they make passable paperweights ... I presume they do a far better job these days.
someone was hot on the double star ... til he received it ... too bad! ... that looked real good, on paper!
if not a Colt, S&W, Sig, or Springfield, I'd be wiling to give a Ruger a go!

Nice pony! How much was it?
I'll also support going the Colt route, being a new owner myself. Here is mine:
- Colt Commander Wiley Clapp Edition (21st Century Commander)
Cost was just a touch over your limit from a great guy here on the forum. A little tricky to find, but a phenomenal gun. Save up a a couple hundred dollars and you can't go wrong.
