If it's in the budget i think the springfield TRP is very good value for the money, the dan wesson valor is right there too.
if you are looking to go more 'basic' i would go springfield or colt. Any of the custom shops will work on them, not so with all makers. I have a bunch of 1911s, i am sad to say that my colt xse is the 'loosest' one in my collection.

Thank you! My budget is around 800-1k but I'm willing to spend a little more if necessary. It looks like the Springfield is right in that sweet spot. Gonna see if the LA Gun Club has it for rental. I wanna try it out.

Kimber is good bang for buck. Then higher end ones are reaaly good but they tend to be very tight tolerances and need breaking in. Hope this helps.

Thank you! That was very helpful!

Here is a pic of the NHC.
