1911 toss-up. Which would you pick and why?

Gunnar at Armco has a Spartan listed. If that's how you decide to go better snap it up.
I've got a Gold Cup. Great gun.

Or see if you can find a used Dan Wesson or as notsorichguy said, a used Gold Cup.

Kimber TLE II. I had one for a while, shot it a lot and it never let me down. It is a very good value, hard to beat with checkered front strap and night sights.

After looking at and shooting an STI Spartan, I decided to trade my Series 70 Colt .45 in and get one. The sights are superior, and the fit and action is impressive. Not a nice looking gun like the other STI models, but I dislike gadgets and prefer a basic working gun. The Spartan has everything I like in a 1911, and has improvements that will improve my shooting for the right price.

I got my Kimber at Shooters Choice in Waterloo. They had some last time I was there.

Check Gunnar on the banner above. There was a nice custom Springfield for $699 on Armco's site.
