Hello All,
The 1911 addiction is still growing and I am trying to decide what my next one will be. Currently I have a few Wilson Combats and a Custom Fusion. I have had many others from high-end to mid-level brands.
Here is what I am considering so far for my next one, not in order of preference:
1. Springfield Professional
2. Springfield Professional with rail
3. Springfield Custom Shop Full Rail Operator
4. Benchmark Precision Custom built Springfield Full Rail Operator
For some reason I am really liking the idea of getting a Springfield Professional. I have never seen a Professional in person...would really like to before buying one. I used to have a Springfield TRP Full Rail Operator until my buddy finally convinced me to sell it to him. So I am also liking the idea of getting the Custom Shop version of that gun too. While searching around, I ran across the Benchmark Precision version of the Springfield Full Rail Operator that looks pretty nice too.
Since I seem to sell or trade my guns more than I really should, resale value is high on the list of requirements. Professionals seem to almost never come up for sale, so resale on them is a no brainer. Also thinking that a Custom Shop Full Rail Operator would be pretty good too. But not really sure on the Benchmark Precision.
So what would you suggest? Also interested in other $3k unique options that I might have missed.
Thanks
Mark
