Hi all - brand new to the forum.
I’m in the market for a new 1911 with the 5” barrel/Government Frame. Not planning to carry with it - just home defense and fun at the range.
I have relatively small and fat hands if that matters. I don’t love the grip on the smaller 1911s that I’ve tried.
My budget is $1000-1200 all in. I’m not a first time shooter but this will be the first handgun I’ve owned.
I’m looking for advice specifically around manufacturer/model and also magazines, as I’ve read that several mags can cause problems with 1911s. I’ve also read about problems with the ejector and have seen it referenced on some youtube videos but nothing specific. If anyone has advice around that as well it would be helpful.
Thanks e’rybody!
