Wyoming | What is your budget? Are you looking for a 5" barrel length, or something shorter/longer?
Off the top of my head, here's a list of companies making a stainless 1911:
Colt, Kimber, Ruger, Remington(*), Springfield Armory, Sig Sauer, Taurus, Smith & Wesson, CZ/Dan Wesson, and of course the high-end semi-custom pistol outfits like Wilson, Ed Brown, etc.
Some Colts, the Remingtons, I think the SIG's and maybe the Taurus are Series 80 pistols.
If you don't know the difference between Series 70 and Series 80 pistols, you should find out before you buy a Series 80 pistol. If you're going to carry it, maybe the Series 80 design would be of benefit. If you're going to use it for target work, then you might prefer the Series 70.
The range of price for the "off the shelf" guns ranges from about $650 up to $1900, and the semi-custom guns will go from $1500 up to $3K (or more). |
