1911 challenge for you

[ian_in_vic]

The base model Dlask 1911 goes for a little more than your budget at $1250. Otherwise, you could probably have a Norinco built to your specs within your budget.

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over loose slide to frame fit, as it has little effect on accuracy. Barrel to slide and bushing fit are far more important. Also, keep in mind that tight slide to frame fit will make the gun more sensitive to fouling buildup.

You can get exactly what you want by having Dlask build it for you, and while it's on the high side of your bracket, it is a properly fitted gun built to your specs. ( personally I'd get 3 Armco'd Norcs - but that's just me)

Three Norinco 1911A1's?
NAA.

That's what I've done(G.I., police and commander). The new Norinco 1911's are really nice.

My next purchase will be one of the newer Norc's, can't go wrong there..

This one may not have everything you want, but these repro's of the series 70's are very nice shooters, tighter than the older one I had & was priced right. Brand new for $1245. I like the Stainless with the "Mil Spec" look....

I like those Gov't Mil spec 1911 so much I have a new Norinco ordered & might even go with another in the commander length for something a little different.....
