Last Year I took a chance on ordering ammo from Sportsman's Guide. Buyers would pay current prices for ammo, but the product wouldn't ship until it was in stock. I ordered 800 rounds of Sellier & Bellot 230 gr .45 ACP FMJ rounds, with an ammo can, for just over $0.32 per round ($16.50 per 50 round box) total cost with shipping. It took over a year, but the ammo finally arrived at the promised price.
I have been on the fence about trading up to a nice 1911 for awhile. I had planned on getting one of the SA Range Officer models, but they appear to have gone out of production. I'm going to assume that there is no better time to pick up a new 1911 than right after a bunch of affordable .45 ACP arrives at your door. What do you guys think are my chances of finding a leftover RO model at a decent price? I'm also open to other suggestions, with a few personal qualifiers.
I know that many shooters love their Ronin 1911's and will try to steer me that way. It is just a personal taste issue with me, but I do not like two-tone guns. I'll put up with it in a lower-end polymer pistol, but I can't justify spending $1000 on a gun and not getting exactly what I want. My first 1911 was a G.I. style Remington R1, which is a fine pistol, but it prevents me from needing another mil-spec or G.I. model. If I can't find any RO models, what other 1911's in the $750-$1,000 range have you guys personally had good experiences with?
