The E Series is good.
The Springfield TRP line is good, I hate their new rollmark, I prefer the older MODEL 1911A1 CAL 45 they used to put in the them. You can still get the old ones as “California compliant” models or used.
Kimber just released a NEXT GEN 1911 at a 1k price point, external extractor, optic cut, front strap serrations, bobtail cut, etc that seems to be good. The external extractor fixes one of biggest issues 1911s have which is that the internal extractor has to be tuned right + it loses tension over round count. Hard steel internal extractors need to be tuned every 5-10k rounds. An external one doesn’t need any tuning and just needs the spring changed out every one in a while. The 1911 originally had an external extractor but the army made JMB do an internal, the internal extractor he did is an every elegant solution and that’s why purists still like them.
