Stay away from the Springer hi-caps--they were discontinued for a reason.

I'd wait for either a "real" Springfield, a Colt, Dan Wesson (yeah, good luck!), or one of the big-name semi-custom shops (Ed Brown, Les Baer, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, etc.).

Stay away from Kimber; they used to be good but suck donkey now. The SIG and S&W 1911s, while probably very serviceable, are not really "traditional". Para-Ordnance can be a crapshoot quality-wise.

I'd recommend joining m1911.org or 1911forums.com and asking around. There are sure to be some fellow Europeans with some leads for you. Hell, the owner of m1911.org is a Greek.
