Vendor had a table full of 1911s at Bill Goodman Show
This one vendor had like 48 1911s budget to custom across two tables. Prices from $799 to way more. Handled a few but didn't pull the trigger.
Do you prefer buying at shows or online?

Not sure I agree but I respect the opinion. For me the Sig P365X has been rock solid for 3 months now.

That's a serious 1911 collection! As a vendor for 15 years, I can tell you most of us price shows a bit higher to cover travel costs and table fees. But you get to handle before buying which is huge. Online might save you $50-100 but you're gambling on fit and feel. I always tell customers - buy what feels right in your hands.
Sounds like my kinda table! I'm a sucker for 1911s at shows... probably why my safe is full of them lol. I prefer shows for handling guns first but online usually wins on price. Did you catch any maker names on those customs? Always looking for good deals on Rock Islands or Springfields.
