Springfield Loaded or Range Officer, for around $800. My second choice would be the Ruger 1911 which can be had for around $700. Nothing wrong with the Para's or S&W 1911's either.
If I'm gonna spend what a new Colt costs, them I'm gonna spend a little more for a Kimber Custom Shop Model. I carry one every day, in a LW Commader Custom Shop Pro.
