Take your lips to my crotch.
Now that I'm out of the military business, I foresee an almost microscopic chance that I'll ever need to defend my life with a sidearm. Even if I did, the weapon platform would be the very least of my concerns; and I certainly don't need a super-tweaked 1911 to do the job. I seriously doubt I would choose it whether for routine carry (which I don't) or even if I were able to select a weapon at my leisure for a later encounter. That's not to say that I would discourage others from using it if that's what they prefer; but I'd feel there are plenty of options out there just as good or better for a lot cheaper. Especially in regards to the OP and other new shooters, I'd recommend something like an FNX in their preferred caliber before a 1911.
Much like Alien Vs. Predator: I'd rather have it and not need it, than the other way around.

My latest
Yes I did. A DeSantis speed Scabbard. Also the Serpa for my XD9sc fits. Not a great fit but it holds it secure. Right now the FNX is my home defense gun. I'll carry it when the weather cools down some.Good stuff - funny, I just recommended the FDX series a few posts back. I know you were looking for a holster for it, did you ever find one?
For a cheap but quality gun the FNX is the ticket right now. $400 w/ night sights is a great deal.
Link? From what I've seen the FNX is a little bit more expensive than most plastic guns. I also don't see night sights listed as standard.

Goes for 550-600 on gunbroker, it seems. On par with a Glock, no more.
Stillllllll waiting for my gun to be in stock. Actually works in my favor since i wont have money for another little while anyway. Maybe i should just go matte over polished and be done with it. I'm watching the walking dead (no spoilers please) and i want anything right now lol.

If price is a major barrier for you, then the Sig Pro 2022 is an even peer competition for the FNX. I'm not sure where your aversion to "plastic" guns comes from since they're perfectly fine weapons.
Just picked up this bad boy:
On order for it:
Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 Dual Ill Riflescope (TA11H-308G)
Harris Bipod BRM-S and LT706 QD Swivel Mount
LaRue Tactical ACOG Mount QD LT100
For Future Purchase (was straining the savings with the above):
Magpul SCAR selector switches
Magpul AFG2 Angled Fore Grip
Magpul Rail Covers
PWS SRX Rail extension
That the 16 or 17? If you're putting an acog on it, I hope the 16
In my hands, they feel awful. A nice 1911 with wood grips feels lightyears better, and no plastic gun will match that. No plastic gun to date matches a well tuned 1911 trigger pull.

How much is such a rifle? That looks freakin awesome.
