I want to have one to learn the platform and give it a try without spending $800.
Some of the RIA types for 450 is seem nice enough, if rough around the edges.
What do you guys think?

I think they're going for about a hundred more than that, now. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/122269.jpg)

See if you can pick up one of the Argentine 1911s.........
Made on Colt equipment, trained by Colt machinists........
Probably one of the truer Colt 'clones'............... IMHO

Go for a better name brand in the GI configuration. They are every bit customizable as a Rem 700 if not more
Consider:
-Ruger
-SA
-Remington

What do you guys think? I've never owned a Tisas, but people here who I respect have and have given them good reviews. That's what I'd get if I were in your shoes. FWIW, $800 is probably still low-end for a 1911.

Somebody has a remington for sale in classifieds. And Remington has such a great rep for making auto pistols, too.

Paper puncher? Springfield Armory Range Officer. Hard to beat for the money if you want a nice to shoot gun. If you go lower dollar, really look at those sights. There are very good reasons sights are about the #1 thing people change on a GI gun. If'n ya cant see 'em sights, ya aint got much. Or, they may be fine for you.

On the lower cost side, the RIA's offer the best features for the money, IMO.

I know this is a late response but I think the RIAs are solid, reliable, have excellent service and are hard to beat. They are good shooters and in torture tests have held up as well as or better than much more expensive pistols.

Same here. I'm impressed. Got mine for $300.00 back when folks were selling them for that price. I think they're going for about a hundred more than that, now. I have handled about 5 of those, and now I have shot one; I’m really impressed. For the category of “GI” 1911 they’re the winners! It’s true to the military model, not “real close” like the Springfield. Of the ones I have seen, the workmanship is very good; especially Frame, Slide, and Barrel. Slide to frame fit is as good as anyone else these days. Internal parts seem very good, haven’t heard of any problems yet. The one I shot had an acceptable trigger, shot quite well, and never a bobble. When you consider the price, TISAS is killing it!!

Yeah, they actually started from scratch with the original blueprints for the 1911 A1, rather than adapting a model they were already producing to look like a GI pistol.
