Wilson Combat is my brand, and I take a perverse pleasure using my income tax refund to buy them. Plus, they are made in Arkansas. You could keep your money in state...assuming you are an Arkansas Razorback.
Yes, I am in Arkansas. And only about one hour from Wilson's headquarters in Berryville. Just need to decide if I want to drop that much coin on my first 1911. Very tempting.

My parents bought me a Combat Commander for my 18th birthday. Been collecting 1911s ever since. I still have the Combat Commander, but mostly reach for my Springfield TRP these days as a carry gun. I have and like polymer guns, but if I could only have one defensive pistol, it would be the 1911. I guess that makes me officially an old guy. :)

I have yet to add a 1911 to my small but growing collection. Would love to hear people's thoughts about the various brands.

I've shot over 25,000 rounds through my Kimber and it's still going strong.

A few years ago I got on a WWII kick and got a Garand D-Day Edition and decided to get a GI45. Its simple and rough, I like it!
