I am looking to purchase my first 45 and was considering either a Nighthawk or Wilson. The gun will be used mainly for target and light (informal) competition, it will not be a carry gun. I have no experience with the 1911 platform but do own other semiautos (Bren10, Ruger, Browning) Any thoughts would be appreciated. The other problem is that I live in California so it would have to be on the approved 'buy' list.
