The Dan Wessons have a very good reputation. For the cost just this side of the $2K+ customs they seem to be a good deal.
Op here...not talked out of it. Just the opposite (thanks a lot!).
Still gathering funds and researching. I went and handled some nice ones, and the nicer ones ($$$) were even nicer. Somehow my cost estimate crept up a little.
I'd like to thank you all deeply for talking me out of a 1911....NOT.
Purchased a Springfield MC Operator today ( from this thread ).
Looking forward to picking it up. Now ISO good mags, a holster or two and AMMO. Let the good times roll...
Edit: Any advice for a new 1911 owner is most welcome. I'm no firearms beginner, but this is my first 1911.

As for magazines stick to 8 round CMC powermag's, 8 round Wilson Combat ETM's and 8 round Tripp research mags.

That is pure genius
