I don't have a pic, but my cheap 1911 is a Taurus. Shoots fine.

I was able to pick up a RIA basic model 45ACP a few years ago, it was used but pretty clean and got it for $325, very happy with it so far, also have the same gun in 9MM.

I bought a Firestorm 1911 back in 2003 or so and it was a piece of crap jam-o-matic. Sent it back to the factory twice and nothing changed- still a piece of shit. |

Now, are they cheap as in cheap shitty materials or are they "cheap" as in they have loose tolerances. You know, like how the 1911 was initially designed?

My rail gun is in pieces didn't cut enough off the rear novak slot for the adjustable tritium sight. Have to try again Monday.

I had a Charles Daly 1911 but gave it to my son. That was the only cheap one I had. Ran like a watch, but was inaccurate as hell when it got warm.

http://www.misplaced.net/~edward/arfcom/1911-2/DSC_0082-small.jpg Honestly my cheapest one. Less than $500. Has a match bushing, hand-fitted barrel, tightened slide and frame. hand cut checkering and stippling. Never mind it was all done in the 50s when no one gave a shit about esthetics...damn thing shoots like you would not believe. Yeah, it's a high polished blue now, but...man, does it shoot. View Quote That's my favorite one on this page. |
