So here is a question: is an experienced shooter but novice handgunner going to be able to tell the difference between a $1000 Springfield, a $1400 Kimber and a $1600 Les Baer?

I think that if you get a pistol that's in the mid range as far as price is concerned I think you'll be satisfied.

I am sure you could tell some differences but the $1000 gun may be the best shooter for you.

I would like to shoot before I buy but I'm not sure if that will be possible.
I also found Les Baer 1911s, albeit at a premium price. So here is a question: is an experienced shooter but novice handgunner going to be able to tell the difference between a $1000 Springfield, a $1400 Kimber and a $1600 Les Baer?

Think of it more spec wise. For me, I want:
No keylock(Springfield can be removed fairly easy)
internal extractor
series 70 type safety
fixed sights
good trigger
as little MIM as possible
I matched those to my budget and wound up with 2 Springfields which I have mildly customized.
