12 Best Affordable 1911s (For Your Budget)

The M1911 is one of the most famous weapons ever made. It has been around since 1911 and has been used in wars and conflicts all over the world.
Many of us may be hesitant to spend an additional $500 on a 1911. This post is for individuals looking for a reasonably priced 1911.

Best Affordable 1911s.
1. GI-Edition Rock Island Armory. This is my favorite 1911 of all time, and it's also one of the cheapest. From the wooden grips to the very tiny sights, it's a bare-bones model to the core. It's not sophisticated, and that's why I like it.
2. ATI FXH-45 Moxie. The ATI FXH-45 Moxie is a low-cost 1911 alternative. To save weight, it has a polymer frame rather than the typical metal frame found in 1911s.
3. Girsan MC1911 SC Ultimate. With the coolest grips, the Girsan is the best of both worlds. G-10 material is used for the grips, and a clear window allows you to see how much ammo you have left.
4. Tisas 1911 Carry. The Tisa 1911 Carry is a stainless 1911 that is easy to carry and has a lot of added features. You receive beautiful, easy-to-see Novak-style sights that can be swapped out for alternative sights if desired.
5. ATI GSG 1911-22. This little fella is a simple blowback pistol that, if maintained clean, tends to cycle reliably. They're also usually quite reasonably priced.
6. Iver Johnson Eagle XL-10. The Iver Johnson XL-10, at roughly $900, is quite pricey in comparison to many of the firearms on our list. When compared to other extended barreled 10mm pistols, though, it's a budget-grade pistol.
7. Fusion Freedom Series Government. The Fusion Freedom Series Government model is a stunning firearm at an affordable price. It has a lovely finish and textured red cocobolo grips for ease of usage.
8. Para Ordnance GI Expert. The Para Ordnance GI Expert is a good 1911 go-to if you want to go a little more sophisticated but don't want to go overboard. A stylish touch is the skeletonized trigger and hammer on the gun.
9. Taurus PT 1911. Taurus 1911s are considered to be reliable and available with a variety of features at an affordable price.
10. Rock Island Armory Ultra FS Double-Stack 9 mm/22 TCM. Rock Island Armory is one of the only manufacturers of cheap double-stack 1911s in a range of calibers that I'm aware of. These weapons are massive, but they have a lot of firepower.
11. Palmetto State Armory 1911. PSA is recognized for providing exceptional value with their AR-15 and AR-10 rifles, and they continue to do so with their 1911s.
12. Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380. The Pocketlite has a polymer frame and is a blowback-operated pistol, unlike the standard 1911. It works, and it's compact and dependable. The Pocketlite.380 is a teeny-tiny gun that's meant to be concealed.

Conclusion
1911 is a fascinating platform. The single-action trigger, the all-metal construction, and the large ole' 45 ACP join forces to create something truly American.
 
The good news is that 1911s don't have to be prohibitively expensive. To discover the best pricing that GunCritic found online for any of these handguns, scroll down and click the links.
