Help me decide which 1911??

Maybe check out STI too, if you can find one. The Trojan would probably be around the same price range you are looking at. All STIs are US made(Texas), except for the Spartan which is their entry level 1911. I have handled a few Sigs, and I own a Springfield and two STIs as well as a couple other 1911s, and I would take an STI every time for the money. I am not at all impressed by the fit and finish of my Springer, it is the most ill-fitted of all my 1911s, although it has been very reliable so far. But my STIs are both top shelf in fit, finish, and function.

How much are the Springfield and the Sig gonna cost?

I have had both a Sig 1911 and the Springfield in several variations. As a non-expert, I'd say get whichever feels even a little bit better to you. Can't see how you could really go wrong with either one.

If really pressed, I might give the Sig a slight edge, unless you are going to go for a more of a custom-shop build on the Springfield. But since you didn't specify with model of each, how can we really give a fair assesment?

But if it's a base model, go Sig.
