 Buying a Colt 1911

For starters, I'd suggest cruising through "gunbroker.com" to look at current auctions giving you an idea of what certain guns are going for. Currently there is a Colt 1911 original with holster going for $1675.00. There are some other "Commanders" going for $475.00.

I don't like the safties on the 1911's and don't want one. So many manufacturers are making copies with improvements. Kimber makes the most sought after models for professional target shooters. Plan to spend about $1,000.00 or more on one of those. Otherwise you should be able to pick something up for $500.00-$700.00.

In my opinion most of the older Army pistols have had allot of rounds through them and they have lost their accuracy. If I wanted a .45ACP that shot well and felt good in my hand, forgetting nostalgia, I'd go with the Springfield Armory XD. I like shooting my guns rather than just looking at them. It is good when you can do both while they look good and shoot accurately.

 Buying a Colt 1911

If you having accuracy problems shooting, the two handed grip is as important as the sighting. If blurry vision is a problem focus on the front sight so it is clear. The rear sight and object can be a little fuzzie but the front sight must be clear. Always shoot your first round in single action if possible. Pull the trigger with the tip of your finger not at the first joint. Pull back and stop just before it trips, hold your breath and get your target sighted and then gently pull the remaining amount.

Hope this helps. Seeing and following the instructor's suggestions is good way to avoid bad habits.
