IMHO, the real begginer pistol should be a .22 rimfire. They're lots to be had for 500. I love my Ruger Mk2, it's one of the gun that I shoot the most and it ate everything I've feed it without failure. The SR1911 is an ok gun at best and 550 is not a real good deal either.
Even though 45 ACP is my favorite pistol caliber and 1911 is my favorite pistol, I wouldn't recommend it as a begginer/first pistol. The rounds are expensive and some of the lower end 1911s could be finicky.
