I have pistols for most of the companies on this list and as Texasjack said they have all been excellent choices.I would probably move Colt to the bottom of the list. Springfield makes a pretty good 1911, and I think their quality assurance is a bit better than Colt. There may be other companies that belong in that range, but they are very small producers and you expect super high quality on that level of gunsmithing.
The top few choices are probably in the right order, but keep in mind that the things that separate them are very minor, if not just trivial. Those are all excellent 1911 choices.
Several of my pistols were more expensive than my SA TRP, which has performed as well at a lower price.I do know The Texas Rangers dress attire are Springfield TRP with custom grips.
Is the list supposed to be their individual ranking?I have a Wilson Combat EDC X9 and three Dan Wessons. Love all of them. I just bought my first Les Baer today. I hope it will be here Saturday if not then Monday. I bought a Les Baer 1911 Custom Carry S/S in .45with a 5” barrel. Pictures coming soon. Anyone else own a Les Bear.
Someone listed on another forum their list for 1911’s:
1. Nighthawk
2. Wilson Combat
3. Ed Brown
4. Les Baer
5. STI/Staccato
6. BUL Armory
7. Dan Wesson
8. Kimber
9. Colt
10. Springfield
That is my understanding.Is the list supposed to be their individual ranking?

InfidelI have a Les Baer SS Stinger. It is capable of better accuracy than my skills support. Because of that I would get rid of it but is it the only one in that category that I own.
Once again I hate you

Didn't think a $3000 gun would have such a glaring issue.
