With my expected haul from Christmas Plus what I have saved, I expect to have around 900ish to spend. I already have a nice Kimber classic custom royal and a Colt M4, but want another 1911 and would also like another ar-15. The Ruger 1911 looks nice as well as several AR's. With about 900 what would you buy?

Build it, and it will shoot.
You already have a manufactured AR15? Now build yourself an AR10.
It's easy, it's fun, and you can build a nice entry level PA10 (Palmetto State Armory) for your $900 budget.
I just built one for around $700 I believe, but I bought the blemished lower, and blemished upper, and everything else was purchased through PSA, but every piece was bought on sale.
I pieced it together over about 9 months or so.
Works great, loads of fun.
Reaches out further than the .223/5.56, and for now it's deer legal.

Ive had my eye on that gun for a long time. Go with that and Ill just live vicariously through you
For that money, a Springfield 1911, like a RO or maybe a TRP would be a great value.
Anothet thought. How about using some of that money for training on how to use your guns in a real life defensive situation. This would be a great class to take. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...26787-rangemaster-courses-indiana-2017-a.html

I like the idea of a class, also have always lusted after a garand. My edc is either my kimber, g-19, or shield. My other guns include shotguns, 22 pistol and rifle, a couple of sks's, a model 70 30/06, and a m94 30/30. There may be a few I have missed. I don't really need anything, more like want! I have toyed with the idea of an AR-10. Saw a dpms of-308 today at academy for 799, but I really don't know much about them. I have shot my dads mp10 and liked that a lot.
If you're looking at 1911s here's my thoughts. I have the Ruger SR1911 and it is pretty nice, not a single problem after 2 years/1200 rounds. However, since you have $900 to spend I'd recommend looking at the Springfield Range Officer Operator ($850ish) or the Colt Competition Pistol. I shot the RO Operator (no problems from this gun either) and the Ruger today and still like the Springfield more. I'd spend the extra $150 to buy the Springfield over the Ruger. I haven't shot the Colt but held one and it looked nice. For what its worth.
