GrimmTactical Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Looking for a relatively “budget” 1911, trying to stay under 1k, even suggestions on what to look for used would be helpful, Really focused on a nice trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsessiveshooter Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) I'll third the Bul, and their Govt model can be found for closer to 750-800. mine runs like a top. Edited February 14, 2022 by obsessiveshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Buy a suitable Springfield Armory 1911. You can buy several for under 1K. All I have seen or worked on have been top notch. The trigger is not smooth initially, buy smooths out to a nice 3.5 lb. pull after a couple hundred firings. You could also have a trigger job done and still be under 1k. Personally, I would never buy a Kimber. In your price range they are garbage. It's a shame. A long time ago they made great guns for reasonably prices. I would also not buy a Bul. I've never handled a Ruger, so I can't comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 4 people that have them as well as myself and none have had issues. Machined sear, disconnector and hammer. Front strap checkering. Competition sights. Good grips and good trigger. Also come with 2 good 10rd mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a better fit/quality parts than anything sub $1000 from ruger, springfield, kimber, RIA, remington, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimmTactical Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Appreciate all the comments guys, I think I’m gonna go with the Bul government seems like everyone that knows something about 1911’s have something good to say about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siemens2 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Are any of the Bul 1911s SSTK legal? Correction, the 1911 Trophy Saw looks to have a bushing/ non-bill barrel. Edited February 26, 2022 by Siemens2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nc1911 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) The Bul armory Trophy Saw is available either way, bushing or Bull barrel. The Bull barrel is legal in IPSC, but not USPSA. I have the bushing version and it is a great gun, but it is on the expensive side. Compared to my DW PM9, it is difficult to justify $700.00 more than the PM9 but only my opinion.

Siemens2 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 For the price I would go with the DW PM9 as well. Hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeD Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Colt has nicely optioned guns that are under $1k . I have 3 colts, all have been modified extensively at this point, but they ran just fine when they were stock too. Used sti could be an option as well. I will also concur with much of what’s mentioned above that I have experience with. Remington, Springfield, Dan Wesson are all nice in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDave Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Ive always been a fan of Springfields and putting a little money towards upgrades like grips, sights and internals, or just shoot it stock. You can save a lot and learn as you go instead of getting a headache budget gun that might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siemens2 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I was lucky enough to find a used Springfield RO and some once used Wilson mags. Excited to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
