I bought a used Stainless Springfield 1911 for $500 several years ago at the Tulsa Gun Show. I’ve put 200-300 rounds through it and have been very pleased with it. It has rubber finger grips and a crimson trace. I have never had any jams or mis feeds. I’ve killed at least a dozen hogs with it.

I later bought a Kimber Raptor and a Colt Gold Cup. Both were brand new and both were fine firearms.

I traded the Raptor for a Kimber Micro Raptor 9mm and a Walther ppk/s-22.

I traded the Colt for a Kimber Micro Raptor .380 and some cash.

My Springfield stays in the console of my truck along with a couple extra magazines.
