1911 for Under $1000

I can't speak highly enough of my Remington R1 enhanced, which I got from Wolverine Supplies. Once I put a few rounds in it and learnt to keep it well lubed, it has performs flawlessly

I've upgraded some parts, but to be honest out the box it was good enough that it didn't need anything done. Even the trigger was smooth and crisp.

+1 for the Remington R1, even though mine isn't the enhanced.
 
If your looking for good dollar value, get the Norinco. There are many nicer ones out there but the Norinco's can't be beat for the price.
 
Ruger has a new model 1911 Target with adjustable sights, if I'm recalling right 9mm and 45ACP available. Ruger's being a true 70 Series spec pistol easy to up date, but great right out of the box.
 
I have a Ruger SR1911 and it is a good reliable shooter, paid $729 for it new from Proline Shooters in Calgary. The $1000 price I see people asking on the EE is a little rich but they do still come up in the $750 range. It rattles, I can isolate the rattling to three locations, slide to frame, trigger, and grip safety. That being said I have no reason to believe that it won't go bang every time. Better than my $1700 Kimber.

Go for a Norinco. Canada Ammo has them cheap on sale, as well as several supporting vendors. They are not the best finish and not as accurate and refined as many more expensive guns, but, they go bang and are a very cheap way to get into pistols.

If you want to send your money to China go ahead, I was there and I don't by anything made there if I can help it
 
If you're planning to reload eventually, .45 - it's a lot less finicky. Of course, .45 empties are ~40 cents each - you can pick-up bucketsful of free 9mm empties on any club range...
