Re: I don't understand the 'higher end' 1911
You understand it completely if you ever competed in NRA Conventional Pistol. The 10 ring on the 50 yard slow fire target is pretty damn small. At 25 yards for timed and rapid fire the X-ring and 10 ring don't seem any bigger. James Clark of Louisiana was among the first to hand fit the Colt Government Model and offered guns suited for semi-wadcutter and hardball ammo. Later it was learned that such hand fitted pistols worked fine with the improved ammunition being offered by the various manufacturers with just ordinary care, so one could have gilt edge accuracy and reliability also. My first was a circa 1970 Clark Heavy Slide that I bought used.

Re: I don't understand the 'higher end' 1911
Threads like this are stupid beyond belief.
What is to not "understand" about higher end 1911's? They hold their value probably better than mid and lower priced guns, so the value is there if one can afford it.
Reminds me of Bernie supporters who villify anyone who has anything better than they do. (I own lowly Kimbers and a Springfield Armory)The USA is now a banana republic. Only without the bananas....or the Republic.
