1911 kit?

[rbasm]

I'm to broke to actually buy a handgun at the moment, so I was wondering if there is such a thing as a kit that you can purchase to build your own?

Buy a Norinco 1911 Police from CanadaAmmo a sponsor at the top of the page. I paid under $370 delivered. I have had it just over a year and put about 2000 rounds through it without a sincle issue. And those are semi-wadcutters which says something about their reliability. You wont find any kit for less than that. Even a Sig clone kit goes for 3-400 bucks.

Chech the Pistol EE there are some cheaper guns on there that would get you going.

Keep in mind that getting a pistol is only half the battle, a 1911 is going to cost serious money to feed, unless you're already reloading.

unless you have expertise in assembling one, you're FAR better off with an already assembled gun- a lot of the kits are only machined to be "in the rough" or are simply parts thrown together- on the barrel link alone there's at least 3 sizes that i've seen personally- get anything that doesn't exactly "mesh" and you end up going to a smith anyway- with a factory gun, everything meshes , and it's been at least test fired , so you're starting off with a known quantity
