Are actual military issued 1911s still available? How much do they cost nowadays? I don't know much about 1911s but I'm interested in owning one that has some history to it.

They're around, some are relatively inexpensive while others are very expensive.
It depends on which company made it, the number produced, and the condition. Refinished guns will generally command a lower price.

I have a shipped from Colt Aug, 1941 Colt USGI and its better than stock market of course I 'm not selling . I had mine about 15 years back then wasn't worth much. Today .
We had one in our evidence/gun room in Petrolium County Sheriff's Office. It was clearly marked "United States Property" on the right side of the slide, and parkerized. I had looked at it for possibly a duty weapon, but then I would of had to change out my duty holster and mag holders for the 1911 from the Glock 22 that had been carrying.
This was a free one given to us by Fergus County Sheriff's Office prior to me arriving there. I could have purchased this from our department at the time for a song of a deal.
Of course hind sight.....
