you might want to check out the new sr1911 from Ruger. there is a thread about it on here where you can read more about it but it fits your listed needs and ruger generally makes pretty good guns.

I want to buy a 1911 but I am very unfamiliar with many many versions of it. Can anyone give me a suggestion for a make and model of 1911 with:

• Wood grain handle grips
• Stainless steal finish
• High-capacity
• High durablity and relability (I don't want something cheap that will fall apart, but something that has a good reputation)
• Under $850

Any thoughts?

What do you consider high capacity and how big of a must is it? Most of the double stack 1911s do not meet your other criteria
