Congrats on your degree! If you are trying to keep it around $1000, go a bit, ~$100-$200, more and get a Colt 70 Series.
For around $1,300-$1,500 you can get a Springfield TRP, which in my opinion is probably the best production 1911 made today.
If you want to go all out, get a Wilson Combat or Nighthawk Custom.
