Hi ya'll. My real name is John, I'm an active duty marine in the glorious People's Republic of California (hail the glorious leaders)... so yeah, all of that nonsense. I'm no stranger to guns in the slightest, and having turned 21 recently I now feel my civic duty to carry.
I know cali makes all kinds of flaming hoops to jump through to get a carry permit, but I intend to try my best. I think first I should have a weapon suitable for my application. Carry/home defense. I've shot a few full size and smaller pistols in 9 and 45. My preference to control, power, capacity, and price range is about a 4" barrel 1911, full size frame, .45, and $1200 range. I feel those specs (generally, I'm not opposed to a 3 3/4 or 4 1/4 barrel), are a good all around base to start. Giving me something that's capable of being concealed, yet still large enough to control and have in the night stand. The hard part is they must be CA legal... which narrows me to a few choices that fit the bill.

There are many others that are suited to my needs, but aren't ca legal. All 3 of these brands have a good reputation, but as always, the experience of others can save one a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance.
