QUOTE (Belbo @ October 26th 2009 9:39 PM)  I'm going to buy 2 new pistols this year, one a small conceal carry weapon and a 1911. This will be my first 1911. I budgeted up to $1200. Would rather spend less but don't mind gong up some if the quality warrants it. I will carry t occasionally and shoot it a fair amount. I would like something of heirloom quality however. I've read all these threads on here and it seems like the DW's are suggested in the upper end of my price range while Springer loaded's have been uggested quite often for a bit less but I thought I would ask for myself. You can get a respectable SA for $1,200.  If you do not want a SA go for a COLT.  INHO a COLT is a better gun than S&W.
