Default The end all 1911

Well what would your end all 1911 be. I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a Wilson, Night Hawk or Les Baer. I have never owned one but shot plenty as my mom used to work at Wilson combat when I was a kid and they were good family friends. What you pick. I'm buying one this year just not sure which one to go with

My old boss has literally about 40 different 1911's... His favorite two of mine are a Wilson and a Night Hawk Custom. Honestly the night hawk is nicer to me, not to mention WC is about 10-14mo out on production last I heard.

I've got a Cheap-o Taurus, a Remington R1 and a lower end Springfield. I'd like to pick up an EMP or Colt Defender next.

Its damn tight, smooth as butter, accurate as hell, and has never had one hiccup in 1500+ rounds.

One day I WILL own this gun

Such a beautiful gun and after I got to shoot one not too long ago Ive got to have one. Nowhere near as expensive as the "customs" but good enough for me.
