After selling a few other guns, I have decided that for Father's Day or possibly my birthday in July I am going to finally get myself a 1911 .45. I briefly considered a 10mm but with the ubiquity and price points of the better established .45, please don't try to change my mind. Its what I want.
In my time I have shot probably close to a dozen different 1911's and I loved every one of them. This will be my new EDC once purchased and proven. What I cannot decide at this point is whether I want to spend the extra $300 and get the Colt. The Springfield is definitely the less expensive. I do not have the money for a Kimber. The new 1911 Colts are made by CZ and are currently available for just under $900. The GI look is just fine with me. Does anyone own either or both of these handguns? Any advice?
I don't plan to handload, just shoot 230 grain FMJ factory loads or possibly try some of the lighter stuff if it functions/feeds without any problems. I have heard great reviews about both but would love your opinions.
