Buying an expensive factory produced 1911 doesn't guarantee reliability.

Every bit of this. My Les Baer bullseye gun is a work of art. Always feeds, always fires, and shoots a 1" group at 50 yds from a rest with hand loads. The price was on a level with the performance. For a budget 1911, I stand by a Springfield, RRA or colt. Whatever you choose, budget a couple hundred for a gunsmith to tune it up.
