Yeah, affordable means different things to different people. But generally you get what you pay for, to a certain extent.
I like Springfields, but that is the only brand I have owned in recent years.
CM, what's the story on the SA Ronin? They look kinda sharp.
Jeromy, I'm still waiting for your reply to Churchmouse's question about what your budget is. That'll give him a good idea of what to recommend. And I'm all ears when the mouse talks 1911s.
There are lots of good 1911s for the money at various price points. There’s a lot of machine work that goes into a 1911 and that means that there are a lot of tolerances to be managed. As you climb the price ladder with 1911s, you get better tolerance management in each gun.
Imagine a stack of pennies. Each penny can have a tolerance for how it’s stacked. If that stack has a 1% tolerance for each penny, you will generally get a somewhat neat stack that does not fall over at 100 pennies tall. Each penny will stack in a Radom direction, canceling each other’s tolerance out. Sometimes though, the tolerances stack in one direction and the stack won’t stand on it’s own with so many pennies stacked to one side.
As you climb the 1911 quality and price ladder, you get smaller penny stack tolerances and more attention paid to how those tolerances are stacking up. Lower end 1911s put them out there and most have tolerances that stack in a way that work fine. Occasionally though, you get a marginal one that has issues.
What most people want in a good 1911 is a penny stack that’s solid, even if not perfect in form. A Springer, Ruger and some others will give that to you.
