If I was looking for a basic 1911 that has a superb fit and finish and would make a great basis for a full house custom I would buy a Mil Spec Springfield gun. (Yes it will cost more to build into a F/H custom than a Kimber but you have more options while doing so)
I have had a dozen or so go through the shop in the last couple months and all have been exceptional pistols. This one I just had in the shop for some minor reliability work, add a short Vedecki and set the trigger at a crisp @ 4# and a couple of small parts changed including the hogue grips. At well under $600 retail, for the base gun, they are a excellent value.
