The Colt or Springer are the two best options in that price range.

Nothing on your list would be a bad choice. I have a couple of Springfields, a Ruger, the aforementioned Bul, and I used to have a Rock Island. They can all be excellent shooters. The current generation of Springfields is getting very good reviews, but even the older ones were good value for money.
Whatever you get, shoot it and get to know it. They’re definitely a bit different than Tupperware guns!

Increase your budget a few hundred and get a Colt gold cup, national match or Trophy. Does it have to be 45? 9mm or 38 super will get you back on target faster. Colt will retain value.. keep that in mind. Make sure you get a series 70 style, not an 80.

A 9mm will not knock the 3.5 lb bowling pins to the ground, which is required. Most use .45 ACP or 10mm.
Bul Armory 1911 Government
They far surpass any 1911 in their price range
I like it better and shoot it better than my 2013 Dan Wesson Specialist. Trigger breaks better than a German MasterShop X5 outta the box. No chit
At leat mine does. Mine breaks at 3 pounds with no creep. Never had a 1911 that was so smooth..
It's far and away the easiest to field strip and especially when putting back together.
Hers the 2nd ever mag thru mine. 8 shots 230gr fmj
at 7 yards. It's just so easy to shoot. So, do what ya want but, don't discount taking a close look at Bul
Honest Outlaw said the pistol that most reminded of his 1911 Bul, was his Wilson Combat....and, I believe him.

Colt or Springfield.
I used to shoot IDPA with a Springfield loaded and it performed very well. But then there's just something about a real Colt.

Sig needs to make a series 70, commander size 1911 in 9mm. That's what I would purchase in a heartbeat. Sig needs to offer that configuration like every other serious 1911 maker is doing now. Do you hear me Sig???Increase your budget a few hundred and get a Colt gold cup, national match or Trophy. Does it have to be 45? 9mm or 38 super will get you back on target faster.

For now, my Dan Wesson Vigil commander 1911 in 9mm gets the job done.
