can anyone recommend a reasonably priced and reliable 1911 for a first 1911 purchase?

I bought a Para Gun Rights in FEb, and so far it has broken the extractor, and only 2 out of 5 mags will lock the slide back. 1 para and a Les Baer mag work, 1 para and 2 new Wilson's will not lock it. All the guys who work at my range have Springfields, and they're all leo's. 2 of them shoot in competition. Para said they'll fix it, but they'll have it for 4 to 6 weeks. I'm having it fixed locally, and selling it!
