Moshrides, what is your budget? I highly suggest a 1911 over a DE.

Agreed. Figure out what your budget is and then do what Birdmane suggested and go rent whatever you can get your hands on.

Springfield Armory Range Officer is the best deal hands down.

Yeah that was going to be one of my suggestions as well. It's an excellent 1911 for the price.

Rick, please go to SA and tell them to hurry up with my Loaded M1A.

Even I would get a nice 1911 over a Desert Eagle...

Are you having work done on it? I've always wondered if they would show me around if I just showed up.

OP, you could kill two birds with one stone and get one of the newish Desert Eagle 1911's...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It helped me decide on a 1911.

A DE would be something to just have. Would suck to buy and pay to shoot.

My budget for now is set at $1400. If I get a decent job it might rise. I will go and take a look at some other 1911's tomorrow to see what I can choose from there. I would order one, but it would be so much easier to just pick on up in town. I would love a 1911 from Ed brown, But that is a little pricy for now.

I will maybe get a picture of that used colt 1911 they are selling. I didn't look to hard at it. It might be worth it.

Thanks again

Ed Brown's are nice, but having built my 1911 with all Ed Brown parts, I wish I would have gone EGW. Nothing wrong with EB but I like the fit and finish a lot more with the EGW parts. Wilson Combat is also real nice, but above the budget.

Take a look around 1911pro.com and http://forums.1911forum.com/

$1400 are you kidding me?

Buy a springfield armory for $1000 and spend the rest on ammo.

Benefits of working at a gun store:

I had a great day today, a customer came in with a Bushmaster Co-witness carbine he had purchased a few weeks prior. His wife was mad at him for buying it and he had never even shot it, or cycled it. No mars/marks on the hammer face from cycling!

He was trying to sell it back to our used department, but we just bought a collection of 30 AR15 variants, so they refused to purchase it. On the way out I was chatting with the guy and he said he wanted the gun gone today, with 200 round of 5.56 and 2 magazines.

Well I offered him $350 and he took it, steal/deal of a lifetime on a $1000 AR15.

What do you guys shoot with all these guns?
Have you used them to go hunting?
Do you only shoot them at a firing range because youre afraid of shooting someone?
Are you paranoid and wish to have a shitload of guns at all times to feel safe?
Thanks.

I usually shoot all of mine at targets, some used for hunting. Others just sit on the wall and that's all they do. I collect firearms because it's a hobby I enjoy doing. I didn't feel unsafe before owning them or after owning them.

Well, you're in absolutely no position to cast any sort of judgement are you?
