The P.I. made 1911 platforms are a pretty good value for the price. Bear in mind if you want them to perform as well as a Springfield, Colt, etc... that costs 2-4X as much, you'll have to put some money into them with aftermarket triggers, springs, sears, and some gunsmithing.

If you just want something inexpensive to shoot targets and hone your skills with, they're hard to beat for the money.
