Can't think of a high quality American made that isn't expensive by my book. You get what you pay for usually. Maybe look for some used stuff and you could come up on a less hefty tag on a quality 1911.

That being said, I have a cheapass Llama 1911 that cured my itch. Never once had an issue with it, I've put plenttyyyy of rounds through it over 15 years or so I've had it.
