For a 1911 on a budget the Rock Island which is made in the Philippines is a pretty good deal at about $325 or so (compact is a little more) is a good choice. I bought one thinking that at that price it would strictly be a range gun, wouldn't trust it as a carry gun. After about 800 rds with not a single failure after the first two magazines, I now have enough confidence in it to use it for carry.
