So, am I the only one thinking of celebrating the 100 year anniversary of John Browning's classic by buying one that is as close to original spec as possible? I am a newb to shooting, but I will have an extra p2p to burn after the new year.

 

So, who makes a 1911 that is close to original GI spec? Only to be used for plinking, no competition or collectibles.

Rock Island - decent and affordable

I have a rock island and love it. For the price you cant beat them. I put a couple thousand rounds through it and not one hiccup so far.

If you want a little better quality, look at these;

Springfield Armory http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?model=6

 

Para Ord http://www.paraord.com/new/product_expert.php

 

Both are cheap and good to go.

Somebody on here was selling a Para G.I. Expert about a week ago.
