Kinda depends on what you want...

What length barrel?
What frame material?
What finish?
What caliber?

That will narrow it down considerably...

No preference on any except it has to be a .45.

I'm going to say buy a Valor. It has everything you would want in a 1911 and the price can't be beat.

Good luck deciding.

I recommend you enjoy it!

I would go with a CCO, I'm on my second one, to me they are just perfect. I hardly shoot my Valor, I just like the CCO so much better.
