OK, I may be taking the plunge. I am going to check out a SA GI 1911 ...from the pic I want to say it is a 4 inch. I know squat about 1911's. I need a crash course in what to look for in a used 1911, problems, areas to inspect closely, etc

Also if anyone has experience with or own a SA GI model I would love to hear your thoughts on it. It will be mainly a range gun. I know the sights are a bit ..... eehhhhh..... but i am ok with that as will change them anyway. I want to hear about functionality, reliability and what it smells like !

I would love to get me a 1911 before I retire but I don't see it in my funds.

Just a quick tip, didn't have a chance to read OD's post, but am looking forward to coming back to it.

Look for bubba'ing. So many people want to home gunsmith 1911's, the majority have no business changing recoil springs by themselves :embarassed:
