Who makes the best 1911 handgun?

Answer 1

Depends what you mean by best. For all around use - reliability and accuracy I would say an old series 70 Colt Commander. Note that very often a very accurate sidearm will have very little play and will be quite "tight" but this also usually means that the weapon will be far more likely to jam in the field if you get down and dirty. The old combat 1911 would almost rattle if you shook them but they were very reliable and certainty accurate enough for close combat. If you want something high end I think the Kimbers and Sigs are pretty nice. For field use I personally would stick to Colts.
