Best value stainless 1911?

[Sriracha]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask your recommendations for the best value 1911 in stainless (preferably matte) with no front slide serrations.

Thanks for your advice,

Try the sprinfield mil-spec...its a good soild entry level 1911. The taurus is also good but it has front slide serrations. I think RIA 1911 makes a stainless thats fairly cheap but I am not sure

Although the SA MilSpec is a great value, the "GI" version is about $100 to 150 cheaper.

For best value I'd say Dan Wesson. Note that I'm talking value versus just low priced...

I'm still partial to the "plain" old Colt SS 1991 NRM. It's not cheap, but it's not super expensive either.

+1 on the Springfield Mil-Spec. I have one and its a great 1911 for the money IMO.

IMHO I think Dan Wesson makes a great 1911 for the money. The fit and finish are superb! How ever they are not cheap. If you want to get in on a 1911 without breaking the bank SA gi or mil-spec would be a good start. Armscor(rock island armory) also make 1911s'. However, I have never shot one to give an opinion.

Another vote for Springfield Milspec Stainless. Mines been rock solid since I bought it new in 1994.

The best value in a M1911 right now is the CZ Dan Wesson line of M1911s.

For ~$900, you can get a Commander Bobtail with all the upgrades and hand fitting to match the Ed Brown Kobra Carry costing $2400.

IMHO, that's a better value than any of the GI SA guns which cost less but which have no bells & whistles.

I couldn't be more pleased with my SW 108282, but it has those front slide serrations you don't like. Got a rebate when I bought it, too.

However, my DW CBOB is almost a work of art. It was a little more expensive than the SW.

+1 for the Dan Wesson CBOB. I picked mine up last week and she's a beaut. It's not the cheapest stainless 1911 out there, but even at the new price range of $1,035 or so, it's a very well made gun for the money.

With the Dan Wesson or Springfield Mil-spec you can't go wrong.

Another Dan Wesson vote. LOVE my CBOB.

$300 and flawlwss

I guess "best value" is subjective. If inexpensive helps make it a best value, my $300 Llama has been perfect and accurate. I guess I got the only good one out there since so many bash the Llama line every chance they get. Spend ~ $900 if you want but I have found the Llama line to have a lot more good than bad guns. For $300 I couldn't be happier. Of course, opinions will vary.

best value 1911 in stainless
Like others best value has got to be the Dan Wesson bobtail.
