My first 1911 was a base model Springfield Mil-Spec with no bells or whistles. This is not the GI reissue look alike. This is the route that I recommend going. Not just because of price, but the beauty of the 1911 is that they are so easy to customize. You can go cheap or very expensive. For me I found that I didn't really need a beaver tail grip safety. With time and shooting you too can discover what changes you want to make it into the pistol that fits and works best for you.

Now I only Used Springfield in the above and an example because it was what I bought. It wasn't meant in any way to down play Colt, Kimber, or any other 1911. At some point or other I've owned Springfield, Colt, Dan Wesson, and Kimber. All were very good guns that I loved and dearly miss most.

For the cost, the Rock Island ( mentioned above) guns are good base guns to use as a starting point for personalization.
