I browsed through the link you sent me on the Caspian. Looks like a nice piece. I was in Academy sporting Goods a little wile ago and spied a "Citidel" 1911 in .45 cal. I got to fondle it for a couple of minutes. Looks nice and feels nice, but............I dont know.......

Theres so many 1911 variants, it amazes me. Makes Ive never even heard before!

There are many good 1911 out there, Before you buy one, just google a review for it & you'll know which ones are the good ones

I have four variants already: Smith & Wesson 1911, Kimber Elite 1911, Springfield Armory 1911, and Colt 1911. I dont think I'll be needing any more. Of all, the Springfield has the stiffest action and higher trigger pull weight. I'll probably have some work done on this one to smooth it out. The other three have very smooth actions and relatively light trigger pull. The Colt has the least rounds through it. It was gifted to me when I retired from Popo Department 1 1/2 years ago. The S&W has the most rounds as I carried this throughout my career. It also has the smoothest action (it should after over 183 thousand rounds) and has NEVER failed me. Kudos to S&W for keeping me safe. It served me well in the 4 shootouts Ive been involved in. It was a partnership, if you will. I still carry it now as a CCW.
