Buying a 45 ACP, question...
I am planning on getting a 45 soon, and I really like the 1911 models. I found one I can get, its a Citadel. I can get it for $390. I know thats cheap and I haven't heard of them before, buI thought maybe somebody on here has or has opinions on what I should do. I can only spend about $500. Has anybody heard of these? Thanks.

I'm biased but I would spend a little extra cash and get a Springfield Armory 1911. They have several models and price ranges to choose from. And they have the absolute, hands-down, best warranty in the business. If you ever, ever have an issue with your weapon, they will pay overnight shipping both ways and fix your gun fast and for free. Even if the weapon is second hand or 50th hand, as long as it has Springfield Armory on it they will honor their warranty.

1911 purchase options
Take a look at the STI products. They have a Spartan 1911 government that has all the bells and whistles. My gunsmith recommends it highly and when I handled it, I was convinced it would be my next 1911. Price is a mere $700.00! Check it out, you won't be sorry.
