Looking for advice on 1911's with rail
Hello,
I am looking for some 1911 advice. This will be my first 1911 pistol and i would like for it to have the rail for attachments. I have so far looked at the ATI FX 45 Thunderbolt and the Taurus 1911B-1. They are both in the $700 dollar range.
Anyone know any pros or cons to either of these specific models?
Would there be any other low cost 1911's that would com with the rail system?
Since this is going to be my first 1911 id like to keep it cheap but at the same time not buy a piece of junk.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Taurus ,not much on the ati. You could add a rail to the gun, theres a couple different company's that make them. You will get more answers asking your questions here. http://forums.1911forum.com/index.php
You must pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Or you will loose.

Shot my PT1911 for the first time today. Great gun. I didn't go with a rail, becuase I'm unlikely to ever want to bolt anything onto it. But the PTs with rails look to be the same gun with a rail on the lower.

If you've got $700 to play with I'd save for a little while longer and get a Springfield.

This was just listed in the classifieds. http://forum.pafoa.org/firearms-6/13...11-w-rail.html I have a non railed Taurus and have had zero issues as well. Although most forum members here wont believe me, it shoots as well as my 1200 dollar Kimber.

Save some more money and get the Colt Rail Gun. My brother has one and it is a nice shooting pistol.

I've had my Sig Sauer Stainless 5" 1911 for quite a while now, I've used it as a duty gun, beaten it up and gotten it filthy, its still scary accurate and functioning normally. I'd go with stainless because its easier to clean. Its well worth the extra $200 you'll spend to get the Sig.

Or for the Cheaper Nitron which only overshoots your budget by about $100 plus transfer...

Smith and Wesson makes an excellent rail gun in the new "E" series in the same price range to compete with the Sig. Based on everything that I have heard about it, the Sig 1911 and the New S&W E series are very closely matched. One is every bit as good as the other. So take your pick. I didn't include the Springfield offering as it was already mentioned in previous posts. I think there is more value in the Smith and the Sig than the Springfield.The M1.
