Well, start reading some mags like gun and ammo and etc. Go to the different sites for colt, kimber and springfield or HK. If you looking for accuracy, go with a long barreled revolver. There are alot of sites catering to the 1911 45 target shooting also if you like autos. I don't know any that are really good in particular, but went to google and typed 1911 45 target forums and got several sites that would look good.
