I typed out a big response on how you should buy a 1911/2011 but then I deleted it since it’s an acquired taste.

Kimber makes a good 2011 in either 9mm or .45 ACP (!), if you can get past the styling it’s a good gun.

Or a used higher end 1911.

There’s no super good deals on 1911s on the market right now. Probably a good indicator of the economy IMO
