Foster 1911

 Anyone heard of these? Guy here has one ,he wants $425 for it. Stainless with a Caspeian slide,nice trigger. 

 While were on the 1911 thing I been looking at one to have like a fullsize,been impressed with the Para's and the Springfields. I love my Kimber but the prices of them has gone out of reach. Any comments?

 Springer's ?

Spingfields shoot very well. Buddy bought a Marine Corps Operator Model. That thing is so friggen sweet!! If the Rock Rivers are anywhere as good as their AR/M4's they are going to be a great pistol too.

Kimber is about as good as it gets for a off the self 1911, but as stated above. Dang they are spendy!! Caurse so was the MC operator at $1100 US.

If you can find them Rock Island Armory made some real good WW2 issue reproductions for around $385-450 US That even though made in the Philipins are very well made, and shoot accuratly. Know two guys with them and love them. One is a 1911 collector, and he claims they shoot and are built as well as he original WW2 Colts! But I'm not sure they stayed in buisness.

I've had a couple Kimbers, and my son still has one.  They're OK, but there are better 1911s out there.  Kimbers come with a lot of extras that many mid-range pistols don't have.  I'm a little spoiled, I guess.  My Colts are missing some things I value, like front strap checkering.  Off the shelf they were missing even more, things that are almost indespensible - like an extended ejector.  I hate a pistol that won't pile the brass up just where I want.  Also, 1911s don't even look right without a magwell.  The magazine poking out the bottom looks wierd to me.  Anyway, if I was limited to the Kimber price range, I'd save up a little more and get a Baer.
