Nothing against Savage they make great rifles but their 1911 I’m not sold on.
There are so many great options like Springfield Garrison or Operator and now TRP
To Colt Competition or Commander to their Combat Unit
To some S&W (if your ok with external extractors) all range from 800-1.600 that are proven .
Worst case getting a Savage that low you will at least break even if it turns out to be a memo. But me I stay Springfield or Colt
Think I paid around $1,000.00 for my Colt Competition
