I'd take a hard look at the Dan Wesson PM series for a little more...  I think the colt competition is around 800-900?  The dan wesson PM series are around 1,100-1,200 ish but so worth it.

you get hand fit components, tool steel fire control, and a superb trigger but all that might not be important to everyone.  basically, you get a lot for your money vs an assembly-line production pistol.

Never owned a 1911 but I have always wanted one.

Keep the pics coming. (and suggestions with pics for a good beginner model) 

A good beginner model would be a Rock Isl Armory - Imported but excellent quality for 

money. No, it's not a Dan Wesson but as a 1st 1911 you can't go wrong.

Also - you can find some deals on Para USA (not Para Ordnance) floating around, and 

Remington has picked up the warranty responsibilities on the Para's so no problem with 

support.........

Same level of quality after being acquired by CZ? ( not that CZ are not good quality but not hand made either)

Garthwaite assembled based on fusion frame and slide  .400 CorBon Nowlin ramped match barrel.  I have a 10mm caspian setup being done as well.

 

DCS did a trigger change to a carbon fiber bit, painted and tin coated

Can't see it Rob. Says you need to update your settings for public view.

Where did you get those python skin grips and is it real or printed? 

No, they are real. Very good grip too.
This guy does all kinds of reptiles and such. Each one is unique and these match my boots so.... :)

Custom done by Garthwaite based on fusion firearms frame and slide.  .400 CorBon.  Yes I am a fan of odd calibers but another easy to load and enjoy round.  Painted by DCS.

A fun Kimber, that I made funner, after fitting a .460 Rowland setup in it.  That's it with my .400 CorBon Garthwaite gun.  It was odd caliber day at the range and this is what I brought with me.  Actually I made that shit up.  It wasn't odd caliber day at the range, but that didn't prevent me from having my own fun.  The black is boring I may need to Cerakote it.
