I have a star bm listed on another sight that is very close to a 1911. WAY under your price. Great gun way lots of holster ware but shoots like a champ and is perfect CC size. here it is....
Taurus has a 9mm 1911 that is under $800 brand new. If you don't like Taurus, I am fairly confident there are several other manufacturers that make 9mm 1911's within/close to your price range. With your budget I don't think you have to limit yourself to used guns. Just wanted to point that out.
