for 1911, get a TM 1911 if you plan on upgrading it... at a price...lol.... since the stock body and frame a plastic, upgrading it will cost about 700$ (gun included)....
You could always get a WE 1911, for around 200-350$, but its not the best...but its more beginner friendly....since its full metal and cheaper...
You could also get a Army MEU (1911) those are TM clones....
